Paul Archer awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship

The Rotary Club of Shepparton South has awarded its highest honour: A Paul Harris Fellowship, to Rushworth resident and Shepparton businessman Paul Archer.
Paul Archer has single handedly raised more than $140,000 for the “Give Me Five For Kids” appeal for GV Hospital. He has done that by collecting old auto batteries from local and regional businesses and individuals and selling them for recycling.
Paul has established a network of auto repairers who stockpile the batteries for him. He uses his own Hilux and trailer to collect the batteries, and with the help of local metal traders and carriers, delivers them to the recyclers, with all proceeds going to the ‘Give Me Five For Kids’ appeal.
