Thank you so much, Visit Kirksville, for putting on such a spectacular Hometown Holiday event this past Saturday! The festive atmosphere was truly magical and brought so much joy to our community.

The Club Excellence award, formerly the Rotary Citation award recognizes the hard work clubs do throughout the year. As a welcoming and engaging club, we not only foster a positive experience for our members, but also reflect the values of Rotary. By achieving this award we were able to contribute to the overall health and culture of Rotary for generations to come.
We are honored to receive this award under last year's leadership from Melissa Stuart. Goals that we had to meet include but are not limited to increasing club membership, engaging members in sustainable service projects, giving to The Rotary Foundation, building awareness of Rotary in your community, and having an up-to-date strategic plan.
