Jaguar Clubs of North America recognizes members who have made significant contributions to their local clubs and the larger JCNA organization through a variety of annual Special Awards and Newsletter Awards. Through the years, many DVJC members have been recognized in this manner. 2020 was no exception. Award winners were announced at the recent JCNA board of directors meeting. Three of our members, Kevin Fitzgerald, Mick Van Vlijmen and Tony Tinari, each received second place Newsletter Award recognition for articles they wrote for the Purr. Paul Trout was recognized for his series of articles published in the Jaguar Journal. The judging criteria for these awards is available on the JCNA website. The newsletter award selections are made by a committee while the Jaguar Journal winner is determined by the editor of the magazine.
