Graham Brewster

Managing Director

Graham brings a unique combination of real estate experience and social entrepreneurship to World Housing.

Having lived and travelled through Southern Africa and the Middle East, combined with his experience working with Muhammed Yunus and the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh, Graham has a passion and drive to bring meaningful social change to both the developed and developing worlds through World Housing.

About World Housing

 

World Housing provides homes to families living in slums in the developing world, fostering communities where families can thrive with safety, security, and access to the resources that change lives.

 

Why We're Here

World Housing believes that homes are the key turning point where the momentum of community begins to have effects that radiate beyond individuals and into entire families, villages, and countries.

World Housing homes allow people to live safe, stable lives. Children who grow up in safe, stable homes have greater freedom to pursue education, and raise the standard of living for themselves, their families, and future generations to come.

World Housing homes cause a ripple effect. And those ripples change lives.

 

 

Paul Harris Fellowship Nominations
 
 
Paul Harris Fellowship Nominations Criteria
 
  1. Club Members currently not Paul Harris Fellows, who have contributed greatly to our club for several years. The criteria for first time recognition will satisfy a majority of the following:
  • A member in good standing for minimum of 2 years.
  • Has served as an active board member or active committee chair for a minimum of one full year, during which time they have shown commitment to their responsibilities.
  • Active participation in and supportive of the club’s service and fellowship activities.
  • A record of regular attendance (a minimum target of 60%) although personal circumstances  that preclude regular attendance may be taken into consideration
  • Supportive of The Rotary Foundation through annual personal  donations
 
  1. Club members who are already Paul Harris Fellows, who are worthy of additional recognition for their outstanding and ongoing contributions to Rotary within the club and at the district level, or who have made significant contributions in the community outside of Rotary. This would take second place to those being considered for first time PHFs and only when other awards such as Four Avenues of Service, DG Awards, etc. were not an option.
 
  1. Non- Rotarians who have made significant contributions to Rotary or to the community where these contributions have been outstanding and supportive of the ideals of Rotary International. Such an award would promote a greater awareness of Rotary or Service within the community.

2.       Greeter # 1 will ensure that the sandwich board at the entrance

3.       Greeter # 2 will ensure that flags and banners are in place.

4.       Greeters should welcome all members and guests and make them comfortable with the proceedings and surroundings, i.e., seating, coffee, schedule of meeting etc.

5.       Greeter # 1 greets and sits with the speaker to gather information useful in providing a respectful and meaningful introduction of the speaker and the program.

6.       Greeter # 2 thanks the speaker and presents the certificate of appreciation for their presentation. NOTE: The certificate is NOT a contribution of $20.00 in the speakers’ name. We donate $20.00 to the Rotary Foundation in recognition of their presentation at the meeting.

7.       Greeter # 3 assists in taking down the flags, banners and places the sandwich board back in Kathy's office.
