Purpose: a way to acknowledge members for their time served helping TCBA
Incentives are only open to current paid club members in good standing
No expiration date shall exist for volunteer hours, and hours will roll over into the following membership years. However, after the 1st year accrued, value is 50% less, use it or lose it!
Club Officers are exempt from these incentives; instead a separate program will recognize their hard work and contributions.
Club Members
