Congratulations to all the winners. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in the awards program over the past year. I really enjoyed marking all of the submissions and I got to learn a lot about our fellow members and clubs. A lot of you asked me how one goes about winning an award. It is simple, submit for it. I know for a fact that there could have been a lot more submissions. I attended many of the Zone Conferences last year and you had numerous awards at them. Unfortunately not all of them were then submitted for the district awards. Please if you win an award or are interested in an award make sure the paperwork is submitted for it. There are a great many Kinsmen, Kinettes, and their clubs, that are going unnoticed because no one took the time to submit for the award or it wasn’t forwarded on from the Zone or club level. Remember when in doubt, double check to make sure it has been submitted. Once it is submitted it is simply a matter of making sure all the qualifications are met. Once again congratulations to all the winners.

Yours In Kin
Odette Houle
Past District Awards Chair
