MEMORADUM

From: Christopher Wilson, Director-V

To: All District Commodores

Subj: 2018 NATIONAL V-DIRECTORATE “CENTURY CLUB AWARDS”

1. Enclosed are the 2018 National V-Directorate “Century Club Awards” for your district. Each packet
is sorted into separate envelopes by district/division which is printed on the front of each envelope.
Please confirm that you have received the correct packet of awards. If for some reason you do not
have the correct packet of award certificates, please contact me immediately.

2. These awards packages are being mailed to you prior to NACON 2019 and should be distributed after
NACON. For the ease of distribution down your COL to the applicable recipient, the recipient's
district/division/flotilla was placed on the front of each certificate, under the recipients’ name. This is
the best way to ensure that you receive your member’s awards without a chance of them being lost or
misplaced in the mail. A great deal of time and effort went into the creation of these awards to
recognize your members that have gone above and beyond in the promotion of the Recreational
Boating Safety message. Please make every effort to ensure those of your members that have worked
so hard to earn this award, receive their award in an appropriate ceremony.

3. Thank you and congratulations on your district’s achievements.
