Golden Lectern

The Golden Lectern was a wooden, hand-crafted lectern. It is presented to the club which contributes the most through their attendance and enthusiasm to making the annual District 42 Spring Convention a success. Over the years, the Golden Lectern came to be one of the most coveted awards. This award was retired after 1995.

District 42 Best Club

The selection of the Best Club was based solely on the points of the Distinguished Club Program for Club year. The winner was awarded the Ron Chapman Standard of Excellence, a banner stand for their use at Club meetings for the succeeding year.
This award was retired after the Distinguished Club Program was revised in 1999-2000.

Clubs with 30 to 39 Members
