There was a discussion to change the criteria for the Joni Mattice Membership Award given annually.  The criteria proposal is as follows.

Members whose region of record is the Glen Region receives one (1) point for every Glen Region event they participate in or attend.  This includes meetings, (regular scheduled monthly or special, board, and any committee), race events, solo events, and rally events.  The attendance can be verified by the waiver sign in sheets.  It will be up to the individual member to check with the membership chairman to make sure they get credit for each event they attend.  The member with the most points accumulated will receive the Joni Mattice Membership Award.  In the case of a tie or multiple applicants, all will receive recognition.  MOTION by Skip Testut, seconded by Dale Terry to change the criteria of the Joni Mattice Membership Award as presented.  CARRIED.
