Special Achievement ? How to Select which FFGC Award to write from your Garden Club’s Programs or Events www.ffgc.org Members Tab - click to drop down and Awards is ﬁrst. Check back often as new awards may be added each year.

Begin by looking at the Category the award falls under. Read it in detail. Does your program or event meet the criteria? This handy document will give you an idea before you go to the computer if there is an award title that matches your program or event.

Once you decide on an award to write, download the application form and ﬁll out the top portion. Save it for later when you are ready to start.

But Not ALL: Remember most awards, but not all, are due at the same time. Most are sent to the same place, but not all. Most are attention to the Awards Chair, but not all. Make note of exceptions.

Reread the award description in detail. Give the Chair of the Program or Event a list of items you need to complete the Award. Ex. Pictures before and after, Budget and where the money came from. How many were involved in this award, all members, percentage of members, community members?
