Presidential Citation

This year’s citation program serves as a guide your club can use to Make Dreams Real. Based on the four Avenues of Service and membership growth, it provides a framework for a healthy, vibrant club. I encourage your club to achieve the citation, not as a source of additional honor but as a way to ensure that your club is making a difference in the world. The program is also open to two of our partners in service, Rotaract and Interact, as a means of focusing and increasing the good that Rotary does in the world. To qualify for a citation, your club should initiate a service project that will reduce child mortality and complete the membership goal and one activity from each of the five categories listed in this brochure between 1 July 2008 and 31 March 2009.

The scope of the activities should be in proportion to the number of Rotarians in your 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 2009. Governors must submit a list of certified clubs to RI World Headquarters, and it must arrive by 15 April 2009.

At the end of this year, we will celebrate our accomplishments together at the RI Convention in Birmingham, England. It is an honor for me to invite you to that celebration, which will be an enjoyable end to our year together.

Join me as we Make Dreams Real.

Sincerely,

Dong Kurn (D.K.) Lee
President, Rotary International, 2008-09
