Rotary Citation and Silver Distinction

Posted by Charlotte England

 PDG Grant Hocking  announced that for the 2019-20 year, Hawthorn Rotary Club received a Rotary Citation and Silver Distinction, signed by RI President Mark Maloney.  

 
 
It is marvellous to see that our Club has been awarded a Rotary International Citation with Silver Distinction for 2019-2020. 
 
Thanks must go to each member of the Club for their contribution to the projects and initiatives that the Club undertook over the year.  It shows that our Club is active, engaged, community focused and most importantly inclusive.  It is particularly special to receive an award during these difficult times. 
 
Let's keep up the good work this year.
 
Kind regards,
Charlotte England
 
 

The Rotary Citation recognises Rotary clubs that support Rotary strategic priorities by completing certain activities. The Rotary Citation is a significant award that honours clubs whose leaders and members show a commitment to success. Clubs that achieve the goals required to earn the Rotary Citation are strengthening Rotary and shaping our future. 

Rotary automatically verifies many club achievements via clubs keeping information up-to-date on My Rotary. To be eligible for the Rotary Citation, clubs need to begin the year as active clubs that are in good standing and remain so throughout the year. The required achievements were centred around the headings Unite People (membership, sponsoring new clubs, alumni event, youth exchange) and Take Action (Foundation committee and contribution, member engagement, Polio, Project work, Public image).

 

President Tilak adds:

Hawthorn Rotary should be proud receive this award and Charlotte's efforts should be commended, and everybody else in the club who are always there to support whatever this club does. With a 67 yr history, Hawthorn Rotary Club is moving forward even during Covid-19 times.

Those who joined us recently have faith in us: Let's work together.
