Presidential Citation
This year’s presidential citation program focuses on individual involvement through the four Avenues of Service and activities related to youth. Our service emphases for the year — membership, water, literacy, and health — are also reflected throughout the citation. By continuing to emphasize the family of Rotary, we will encourage Rotarians’ families, as well as Rotaractors, Interactors, and other program participants, to join us in our service work and fellowship.
To qualify for a citation, your club should complete the membership goal and one activity from each of the six categories listed in this brochure between 1 July 2007 and 31 March 2008. The scope of the activities should be in proportion to the number of Rotarians in the club and their abilities, interests, and skills.
Once your club has met this challenge, complete the certification form and submit it to your district governor by 31 March 2008. Governors must submit a list of certified clubs to RI World Headquarters, and it must arrive no later than 15 April 2008. Use this citation program as your guide for 2007-08, and let us show the world that Rotary Shares.
