The Member of the Month program was reinstated last year to recognize outstanding members in the chapter for their achievements. The advisors pick a new member each month and those members will have a picture and article published in the Menard County Review, chapter newsletter, as well as on the website. They are also recognized at the Parent/Member banquet at the end of the year.
