Point
System Rollout for 2005-2006
As many of
us are aware, participation is key to success. We want everyone to get involved
this year, and make this a year to remember. With that said, we have decided
that to encourage participation, we will roll out a point system, which will provide club members with opportunities to win
a prize as recognition of their service throughout the year. Here is how this
will work:
Every club
activity will be assigned a point value, which will be announced with the event details.
Those participating will receive points in their “account”. In
July, the individuals with the top two point totals will win a prize with a value of no less than $50.00. Now remember, the value of the prize could increase with successful fundraising. SO- it is all up to you. Is there a winner inside of you??
SOME GENERAL
POINT VALUES:
Monthly Meetings 10 points
Social Outings
10 points
Bake Sales
30 points
Quiz Bowl
Team Participation

Outings 15 points
