Cosmopolitan of the Year

JILL DIVINCENZO, Capital Region Club 
Jill DiVincenzo was selected as the 2010 Cosmo of the Year. Jill is involved in many ventures, but her service to her club was the criteria for her selection. Jill has served in every capacity. Her club noted that she is typically the first to any meeting or event and the last to leave. In between she takes charge and gives of herself for the success of the club. On of the best parts of her involvement is her culinary skills which means homemade goodies at most fundraisers and work projects. She has been a driving force for adopting many worthwhile causes for her club to take part in.

Governor of the Year

SUSIE BARTLETT, Lawrence River City/Emerald City

Susie Bartlett is this years Governor of the Year. Susie is no stranger to being a Governor as this is her second time around in Mo-Kan. Mo-Kan was lucky once again to have Susie as a Governor-elect as the sitting Governor was unable to complete their term and Susie stepped in sooner than expected. During her tenure as Governor-elect, she and husband Gary established the Emerald City Club in Topeka. Susie is also on tap to continue her service as Chair of the 2011 International Convention in Overland Park, Kansas. Great work once again from Susie Bartlett.



Club President of the Year

MATT ARMSTRONG, Rockford Club

Matt Armstrong was selected as the International Club President of the Year. Matt served as the Rockford President this past year. The Rockford Club has become known as “the” club to belong to in Rockford. This is due in part to the work that Matt did in furthering developing membership events, fundraising activities and community involvement through the Rockford Club Charities Board. The relationship fostered with Crusader Clinic in Rockford continues to blossom. Matt and the Rockford Club were also instrumental in offering support and encouragement to Lindsey Oswald the founder of the new Women’s Cosmopolitan Club in Rockford.
