Members

Triple Crown Pin

Earn three or more educational awards (CC, CL, DTM, etc) and file them in a District 23 club and you’ll receive a Triple Crown pin from District 23 at the end of the year. If your name is on the list to the right, you’re getting one!

Clubs

Club Officer Training

It’s a proven fact that clubs who get at least four officers trained during each training period are up to three times more likely to be Distinguished. Imagine what could happen if you got all of your officers trained!

  • Get all seven of your club officers trained during either the summer or winter training period and your club will earn a Perfect 7 ribbon from District 23 for your club.
  • Get all seven of your club officers trained during both the summer or winter training period and your club will earn a Perfect 14 ribbon from District 23 for your club in addition to the Perfect 7 ribbon.
