I believe I have a reasonable way to measure that success, without having to wait for April dues to post, and it’s really surprising how well districts are doing with this goal.\u00a0 I’ve written a program to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Calculate the number of distinguished clubs needed for each district (40% of start-of-year club base)<\/li>\n
  2. Identify the clubs farthest along in the DCP (most goals earned to date)<\/li>\n
  3. Add up their goals (but capped at 5 goals per club, since a club with 7 goals doesn’t help a club with 3 goals be distinguished)<\/li>\n
  4. Divide that total goals by 5 times the number of distinguished clubs needed<\/li>\n
  5. The resulting percentage should hit 100% exactly when the district achieves the 40% distinguished clubs goal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Except that there’s also that membership requirement for the DCP.\u00a0 So I’ve counted up the number of members that those clubs (making up the 40%) are short of whatever is required for them to be distinguished (+5 or >=20 members) and show that as well.\u00a0 This number isn’t terribly meaningful until April dues are posted, of course; we only lose members twice a year, April 1 and Oct. 1.<\/p>\n

    D84 (north and central Florida) is already 63% of the way there!\u00a0 11 districts are at least halfway there, and almost every district (80 of 82) is over 25%.\u00a0 It will be very interesting to see how these numbers evolve in the coming months!<\/p>\n
