Presidential Citations for Our Club
Each year in Rotary is unique. The year begins on July 1, and ends on the next June 30. Each and every part of Rotary International changes on each July 1, from Rotary International down to each club. Each year, also, the President of Rotary International sets an agenda for the whole world of Rotary, its international Zones, Districts, and individual Clubs. For the clubs, the President of Rotary International promises to recognize those clubs that successfully carry out the programs the President of RI wishes to emphasize. The annual requirements are broken down into the four Areas of Service of Rotary International: International Service, Vocational Service, Community Service, and Club Service. The clubs that complete these requirements receive the Presidential Citation from the RI President as “Balanced Club Achievement.” Our club has received such recognition for these years:
1996-1997 2004-2005
1997-1998 2005-2006
1999-2000 2006-2007
2000-2001 2007-2008
2001-2002 2009-2010
2002-2003 2010-2011
2003-2004 2011-2012
The Presidential Citations are the circular badges sewn on to the Club’s banner that is set behind the podium before every meeting.
Our club has also received two additional special citations: in 1996-1997 the Club was recognized for it’s per member contributions to Polio Plus, and in 2004-2005 (the Centennial Year) our Club was recognized for its Centennial Community Project. Those awards are the white badges sewn onto the Club’s banner.
