Reporting Points Update There has been small changes to the point system for reporting ★
Board meeting points will be based off of attendance the same as general meetings.
★
In order to better focus on service, donation points will be reduced.
However, there is also a major update which I am excited to present. ★
You will now get points for Donations!!!
It will work the same as if it was a cash donation. You must send in a receipt of at least one item that was donated so I know an average price of the item donated. ★
The number of items donated will go in the same box as the money donated box.It needs to be clear in the description that is is items.
The math behind the donated items: ★
(Number of items x cost of items)/number of members in club
* Note that neither the donated items nor money will be multiplied by 5 anymore*
