I need your input ...

I would like to introduce a "Clown of the Year" award for our alley for 2008, and I would like to tell the other clowns about this award on January 12 at our holiday dinner. (We have our holiday dinner AFTER the holidays because we're all too busy DURING the holidays.)

I would like them to have incentive to work toward this award, and go by different categories. Maybe on a point system ... I'm not sure of the details, and that's where you more advanced clowns can help me.

Do any of your alleys have this and if so, what is the criteria for someone to get this award? Also, what is awarded ... a prize, certificate ... what?

Please give me your input on this ... it's never been done in our alley for 20+ years ... this is a first for us. I've heard of other alleys doing this, because the person who won the award was really excited about it. She got a certificate in a frame. It was over two years ago when I talked to her about this.

Anyway, I would really like some ideas so I can suggest it at our meeting/dinner on January 12.

Thanks!!!!!

Somewhere I have the critera that Center Ring Clown Alley used. I know that at least part of the point system was based on number of hours volunteered for alley events.

You might give a point or two for holding an office but not so many that it is a given that a board member win.

Hmmmm... have to think about this one.

Ok thanks ... did you read my email or hear my vm?

Your VM? I read your email. There are a number of new hotels in the area so we might want to compare offerings. Lets see what the membership wants and then see how feasible it will be with out time frame.

Ladies and gentlemen (and tramps and hobos) there is consideration for a week end event starting Friday afternoon and ending Sunday afternoon. Originally, we had discussed a one day event. Part of the information we need from you at the moment is:
a) your preference (if we can pull it off)
b) how many of you would be serious about attending?

This will help with the planning.

Thanks
