    In a continuation from the prior conversation (http://www.greateriowareefsociety.o...fault.aspx) I wanted and would like to see a way for Des Moines members to recognize each other in this region for helping contribute to either the success of the club and/or the reefing community. In stealing a page from other recognition programs I have come up with the following proposal. This is all debatable, as I want to find a way for us to recognize or reward those who help others.


    The rough idea is as follows:


    On a yearly or quarterly basis the members could contribute names or recommendations to the trustee. The trustee would then decide on a name and there could be a small reward as a thank you.


    We as a club or region could find a way to thank someone who spent time helping others. I know budgets are tight but we could possibly do something small. Maybe a $10 gift or a bag from a box of salt. I dont want to do this for the reward, but more or less as a thank you or some small token of appreciation.





    Just some suggestions below


    Did they help you plan and plumb your new tank?


    Did they rush over to prevent a huge disaster on your tank?


    Did they donate frags or fish to help you start your tank or someone else's?


    Contribute time, supplies, help to another program start up a reef tank?

    I like that idea for our Region!! :0) "Many" of our members help others out throughout the year, and many members are unaware of their contributions within the Region. I can think of a few right now who I'd nominate :0)

    Is s/he mentoring a newbie?
    Is s/he always promoting the Club, Region and the hobby?
    Does s/he support the LFS, Member's side business, Club sponsors... Just a few other thoughts /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif

    Even a small plaque as the award would be nice. Traveling award, maybe?
