Plastic covers for pages add distinction. A typed, double-spaced narrative is recommended. No loose items are acceptable.

2.        Outside Cover: The outside cover must have a label attached giving the name and number of the award, name of club, city, district, number of members in the club, name, address and phone number of the person submitting the award.

3.                Contents:

A.      Title Page (first page): Name and number of award; name, address, and phone number of club president at top of page. Begin narrative on this page.
