Greetings CKI!          

Did your club have a fantastic year? Does your club deserve to be recognized by CKI? Check out the CKI Club Awards and you and your club could get the recognition it deserves! The International awards should be similar to your district awards, so submission is relatively easy. There are many club awards that are given out each year at the International convention. Here is a brief description of each:
