CLUB OF THE MONTH PROGRAM
Each month, from August until March, clubs will have the opportunity to become “The Club of the Month”. The title can only be earned once during the eight months, however a club who has already won the title can continue to submit their stories and still earn points. Only one submission per month per club is allowed. Details of the requirements for earning the title and the bonus points are detailed below.
Concept:
From August 2010 to March 2011, a monthly award will be given to one outstanding Club in the District, based on its activities and accomplishments that match that particular month’s Rotary Theme (see list below). The submission is a simple description of the project undertaken. It is the responsibility of the Club President to submit a list of the Club’s “theme” achievements to their AG with a copy to the District Secretary by the 5th day of the subsequent month. On the 6th day of the month, the AG will forward the information to the appropriate District Focus Group whose members will judge the entries and select the “Club of the Month”; the announcement will be made on the 15th of that month.
The Club of the Month will receive a recognition plaque and all members of the club will receive a unique “Club of the Month” lapel pin.
There are no additional criteria for submission, other than appropriateness to the monthly theme, and adherence to the deadline.
