The Mark of Excellence pin is officially out and the Masterbrand pin is in. According to RI, Rotarians are free to wear the Mark of Excellance style as long as they choose but while vendors may continue to sell the old style to deplete their stock, they must cease selling them by November 2024. If you read the comments following, there is significant member discussion and controversy. Some clubs say their members aren't wearing the new pin/badge. They feel it has lost its appeal as a piece of gold jewelry or a lapel pin. If you would like an old stye pin for keepsake, see Mark next week.
