DISTRICT-WIDE ANNOUNCEMENTS

Smedley Award Membership Building Contest - August 1 – September 30

Can your club add five new, dual, or reinstated members with a join date between
August 1 and September 30? Accomplish this goal and you’ll qualify to receive a “Smedley
Award” ribbon, named in honor of Ralph Smedley, which you can display on your club’s
banner. Qualifying clubs can also earn a special discount code for 10-percent off their
next club order. (The discount code expires six months from the date of issue and is not
valid with any other offer.)
Applications and payments for members with a join date between August 1 and
September 30 must be received at World Headquarters or online no later than September
30. The addition of transfer and charter members does not count toward “Smedley
Award” credit.
The winning clubs will be revealed online within a few weeks of the submission
deadline. Winning clubs should allow up to 10 business days to receive their award if
they are located in the United States, and up to 21 business days if they are outside of
the United States.

Membership Renewals - Due by September 30

Remember that fall membership renewals are due by September 30 to remain a
member in good standing. Every club must also pay dues for a minimum of 8 members
by September 30 to remain a club in good standing.
