Membership Award

September 2025 | Rotary Club of Rushden awarded for new member intake

At the end of September, we were delighted to receive an email from District Governor Moira Penney which read as follows

Dear Anton
Congratulations!

It gives me huge pleasure, on behalf of the District, to award you and the Rotary Club of Rushden the Membership Challenge Award for this quarter of the year for the highest number of new members.

Quite an astonishing feat. Well done to you all.

I attach a certificate signed by myself and Membership lead, Steve Howe. Steve has asked District Treasurer, Steve Chamber, to award the club all £200, as a mark of recognition for your remarkable achievements

It's really positive to win this award and we are grateful to all our Club Members - not only those who have proposed and introduced new Members but everyone who has made our Club so welcoming to new people.
