Congratulations to the nine (9) Rotary Clubs and one (1) Rotaract Club in Rotary District 7620 on being awarded the Club Excellence Award, formerly the Rotary Citation award in the 2023-2024 Rotary year! The Rotary Citation is the most significant award a Rotary club can receive and recognizes the hard work clubs do throughout the year, and taking action to achieve the goals can help clubs engage their members, stay relevant in their communities, and run more efficiently. We also thank iPDG Delores Edwards Harding for her leadership as the then District Governor, as she helped inspire these clubs in their efforts. Congrats!
