Great work, RCOE! For 2019-2020, our club was awarded a PLATINUM Rotary Citation...
The following are excerpts from an article published by the Rotary International District 5370:
"... [District 5370] recognized clubs for what they accomplished related to community, international and youth service, and to public image and marketing. Awards were also presented to clubs for membership growth and outstanding support for The Rotary Foundation and Polio Plus."
Past District Governor, Tracey Vavrek, stated,
"The goal of the District awards is to recognize clubs and projects that build leaders, build community capacity, build partnerships and demonstrates how we can work on issues and projects and overcome those issues” Tracey said. “We also recognize that it is important that our projects and programs demonstrate how lives have been changed or impacted, and we are doing it right.”
The RCOE also celebrates the Rotary Club of Edmonton Whyte Avenue's fantastic achievement!
For 2019-2020, the Whyte Avenue Club was recognized as District 5370's Rotary club of the year:
"The Rotary club of the year award is given to “a club that has performed in the highest traditions of Rotary and ways that clearly reflected the Rotary International theme.” ... In its submission to the awards committee, the Edmonton Whyte Avenue club provided several examples of what it did to connect with the world through volunteerism and community service, by growing the club’s diversity and membership, by connecting with the community, by empowering leaders, by helping those in need around the world and by providing service during the COVID-19 pandemic."
