PGRS REWARD SYSTEMS:
In addition to the 5-year recognition pins, it has been decided
to institute two new reward systems starting in 2011 -
attendance and participation.
It is hoped that these will help get out more
volunteers to work the shows where the club has a train layout,
to help in hosting meetings in this new year and to increase
attendance at club meetings. It seems that many of the same
members have
been coming out and doing much of the work. It was felt that
those who are able to participate should be rewarded
and that an incentive was needed to help motivate others to also
volunteer more. A drawing for the 2011 reward
prizes will be done at the December dinner. The rewards are
open to all club members who have paid that year’s dues
beginning with the January event. The reward pots and records
will be maintained by the Secretary. The 5-year recognition
pins will continue and will be awarded at the December dinner
meeting.
ATTENDANCE
REWARDS:
At each
meeting/event, a green ticket will be put into the pot for
each member in
attendance. Each month, the officers will put the
member’s name and the event date on the back of the ticket based
on the sign-in sheet. This
info will also be entered in an Excel computer file. Watch the
web site for the attendance prize details.
PARTICIPATION
REWARDS:
A white ticket
will be put into the pot for every chance earned by each member.
For every two hours, a member
works at a show
where the club has a layout, you will get one chance on the
prize; if you work four hours, you
will get two chances and so on. The event coordinator will have
an event schedule on site based on those who have signed up;
afterward the coordinator will turn in the validated sign in
list to the secretary. If you
host a meeting /
organize an activity for 2011, you will receive one
chance. If you tow the
club trailer to and/or from a show, you will receive one
chance for each way. You can have as many chances as you want
depending how much time you are able to put in supporting the
club. This year’s
prize is a LGB Track Cleaning Locomotive. See
a picture of it in the November 2010 newsletter
