RULES: REPORTING GUIDELINES
Project Reporting Guidelines for
State and National Recognition and Awards
Please read this carefully!
Project Coordinators are asked to submit a simple
report of their project to be counted among the hundreds of projects
across the state AND to be eligible for state and national recognition!
* Optional Service Day!
Friday, October 26 is the MDDO Optional Service Day for those who
cannot participate on Saturday due to their schedule or structure,
including schools, afterschool programs, businesses, etc. This Friday
option applies only to Ohio recognition and awards; it does not
apply to national recognition and awards though USA WEEKEND magazine.
Eligibility
To be eligible for STATE recognition and awards, a significant part
of your project must take place on Friday, October 26 or Saturday,
October 27 (but, if for religious reasons you can’t participate,
please participate on Sunday, October 28). Friday has been added
for projects whose volunteers can only be together during the week.
NOTE: Optional Service Day projects will only be accepted via reporting
options #1 or #2 below.
To be eligible for NATIONAL recognition and awards, a significant
part of your project must take place on Saturday, October 27 (again,
if for religious reasons you can’t participate, please participate
on Sunday, October 28).
