PRESIDENTIAL CITATION

Presidential Citation
For Balanced Club Achievement
- Year II

 
A presidential challenge has now been issued for Rotary clubs to use the personal efforts of their members to serve others as part of balanced club achievement. Clubs will receive a Presidential Citation based on their number of accomplishments within each of the Four Avenues of Services as outlined below. More than a competition, this is a challenge for Rotary club members to set a standard for service through hands on service.
 

Criteria and Deadlines:

To participate, first locate your club size on the chart below. The chart will tell you how many accomplishments your club must have within each Avenue of Service. Next, review the menu of activities under each Avenue of Service. Select the ones your club can accomplish and set them as goals. Emphasize to your club the personal activity and efforts in meeting these goals between 1 July 1993 and 1 April 1994.

Once these goals have been met within the timeframe, your District Governor must certify your club size and which activities your club has accomplished to the R.I. President by 15 April 1994.
 

Special Award for District Governors:

 
A District Governor will also qualify for a 1993-94 Presidential Citation if 50% or more of the clubs in the district qualify for a citation. Governors who qualify will receive a special certificate from the R.I. President.
