CLARIFICATION OF SCORING

All stared items must appear in each issue of the bulletin. The items without a star must be included in the bulletin once each month. (They may be included in every issue, but this is not necessary.)
Program announcements
The program for each meeting prior to the next issue shall be given. If the program for any such meeting has not been determined, that shall be noted and considered as satisfying this requirement.
Activities mentioned
This may be an activity completed or a future activity.
Personal items about members
This may be a birthday, anniversary, health report or other personal item about a member.
Items scored for each issue
Legibility, neatness, convenience of size, attractive appearance, and regularity of issue and style of writing.
Single page bulletin
Any bulletin printed on one sheet of paper of legal size or smaller shall be considered a single page bulletin.
Multiple Page Bulletin
Any bulletin printed on more than one sheet of paper shall be consider a Multiple Page bulletin.
District Awards will be given to the club bulletin which, in the opinion of the Bulletin Contest committee, is the most outstanding in each of the two (2) categories, Single or multiple page. The district committee choices are entered into the Multiple District contest to determine the best bulletin in the Multiple District.
