Distinguished Club Plan Report

by Stanley IViese DCP Chairman Bold

The Orlando Conquerors took top honors with their 1975 District 47 DCP, racking up a prodigious 5,040 points Golden Gulf Club 91 1 turned in 4.064 points and Ft Myers Club 1702 came in with an impressive 3,026. A list of DCP results is shown on page 8

While the Eastern Division has claim to the top club, 1066, TH E WEST IS BEST in having more clubs using the DCP The Western Division finished second, third, fourth, fifth, eight, ninth, tenth and twelfth in district positions, turning in twice as many plans as the second place Eastern .division

The Conqueror's great showing puts them in the running as President's "Top Ten " Distinguished Club Immediately below that level are Golden Gulf, Ft Myers and St Pete 2284, who are contenders for the President's Select Club status

The Western Division's fifth spot club, Sunshine City, is the only club in the President's Distinguished Club category at 2,528 points

New Area Approved

City Challengers in the Northern Division led the Blue Ribbon Distinguished Club group, followed by the new Merritt Island Club, State Farm (Winter Haven), Jose Gaspar, Tampa Noonshiners, Midweek and Seminole Chiefs

The Distinguished Club group was led by Harbor City, followed by the Canaveral Lift Off Club, Tallahassee DOT, Pan A m and Science of Mind

Being D. 47 DCP. Chairman this year was a very good experience for me I learned a great deal about the other clubs and members of our district.

While reading minutes or club bulletins, I was impressed by the clubs' achievements or activities, showing what quality can do for a club It was also apparent that if a club had previously presented DCPs it helped in doing this year's plan, and it showed in the clubs' quality of programming and membership

Let me thank every one who prepared a DCP and Toastmaster Dick Battin who helped me judge this year's plans

Good for you, 1066

It's Official!!
