Our Club has achieved the 2019-20 Rotary Presidential Citation -Platinum level - the highest Rotary honor for a Club and a very rare accomplishment for a Club to achieve this honor 4 years in a row. It is a fitting tribute to our Club in it's centennial year.. The award was announced by our very own 2019-20 District Governor Mahbub Ahmad in a letter to President Steve Simpson and all members of the Club. The Presidential Citation is awarded to a Club which achieves a set number of preassigned goals in two categories - Unite People and Take Action - like membership growth and retention, service projects, contributions to the Rotary Foundation, augmenting Rotary's public image, among others, Those Clubs achieving the goals in these two categories then compete for Platinum, Gold or Silver Awards depending on the number of additional goals they are able to achieve in a third Category.
Our Club is only one of three out of the 44 Clubs in our District to achieve the Platinum Award. A total of 10 Clubs achieved the various levels of the Presidential Citation,
Past District Governor Mahbub congratulated President Steve for his dynamic leadership and thanked all members of the Club for their diligent work in bringing the honor to not only their Club but also to the District. He paid tribute to the memory of Shahid Latif, President of the Club during the first part of 2019-20.. President Shahid would have been thrilled at this achievement of his dear Club.
