The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International named Henry Ristic a "Paul Harris Fellow" in appreciation of tangible and significant assistance given for the furtherance of better understanding and friendly relations among peoples of the world.

This award was presented by Rich Moore at the Woodridge Rotary social on Tuesday, January 13, 2026. Mr. Ristic has been a community leader in many events and was recently instrumental in the December 2025 Rotary Holiday Gala which provided a $15,000 donation to the DayBreak ministry of St. Scholastica Parish. These funds that Daybreak received will enable them to take on a third family in support of their transitional housing ministry.
