- October Member of the Month – Whitney Doll
Whitney Doll has been a member of our club since 2016. She has held multiple roles in that time and is currently our Club Secretary. Whitney has done a fantastic job updating our club’s progress report (we promise, she didn’t write this nomination). We want to congratulate her as Member of the Month!
Please submit your nominations for November to membership@dcrotaryclub.org no later than COB October 31. If you are nominated for demonstrating one of these important Rotary traits, you will be entered into a monthly drawing for a $40 gift card! The "Member of the Month" will be announced at our regular 12:30 lunch slot on September 30.

1. New member that is the fastest to graduate from the red badge to the blue badge
2. Member that sponsors the most new club members in a given month
3. Outstanding Leadership on a Committee during a given month
4. Member whom volunteers the most in a given month
