2023-24 Awards
Hugh Archer
HUGH ARCHER AWARD 2023-24
The Hugh Archer Award honors a wonderful and kind Dearborn Rotarian who served as our District Governor in 1969 – 70. Hugh served as Rotary International President in 1989 – 90 with the International theme of “Enjoy Rotary”. Hugh’s theme is used as the basis for this annual district award, that encourages clubs to have fun while providing a new, important service project. Hugh’s greatest belief was that Rotary members enjoyed their meetings, service, informality and getting to know each other.
There are two divisions of the Hugh Archer Award; one for individual club projects and one for club collaborative projects. The awards are given to club(s) in District 6400 that initiate a new project that encourages teamwork among club members and that best exemplifies Hugh’s RI theme of “Enjoy Rotary”. The project must be implemented between May 8, 2023 and April 1, 2024.
These projects are outstanding examples of how Rotary makes an impressive, long-term impact both here in our district communities and in the world, serving as a great legacy to Hugh Archer.
