๐Ÿ’ซ Our astronomical 2022-2023 space expedition is coming to an end, which means itโ€™s time to recognize our โ˜€๏ธ sunny District Convention Awards recipients! Congratulations to our stellar clubs and members who went out-of-this-world throughout the term.

๐Ÿช First, get a recap of our Fall Training Conference Awards recipients here.

๐Ÿช — Membership Recognition Program (MRP) Recipients —

The Membership Recognition Program (MRP) is the largest recognition program in the California-Nevada-Hawaiโ€™i District. It recognizes members who have shown dedication in our three tenets: Service, Leadership, and Fellowship. In order to achieve an MRP ranking, members need to be dues-paid, reach a specific number of service, leadership, and fellowship hours, and complete various additional requirements.

Without further ado, here are the 2022-2023 MRP recipients.

HALL OF FAME

Austin Hoang, University of California, Berkeley

 

Thank you everyone for all of your contributions made this past term. Even if you or your club did not earn an award that you applied for, do not feel discouraged or that all of your hard work was in vain. You and your fellow club members know how much time and energy you dedicated to Circle K this year, and an award does not solely justify all of your hard efforts this term. No matter the results, we are proud of you, say we are proud of you.

I hope that you have taken what youโ€™ve learned this term andย dedicate yourselves to the realization ofย humanityโ€™sย potential!

 

Best,

 

Austin Hoang
