Club Excellence Award
Woo hoo! Livingston Sunrise Rotary Club achieved the Club Excellence Award for the 2025-2026 Rotary year. ðŸŽ‰
 
The Club Excellence Award (formerly the Rotary Citation) recognizes the hard work clubs do throughout the year. The Club Excellence Award is the most important award for Rotary Clubs! Taking action toward achieving goals helps clubs engage their members, stay relevant in their communities, and run more efficiently. A welcoming and engaging club also reflects the values of Rotary. When clubs work to achieve these goals, they also contribute to the overall health and culture of Rotary for generations to come.
Way to go, Livingston Sunrise Rotary Club!
