Levels of achievement are earned in order and lower levels must be
earned before a higher level can be earned.
All levels earned are retained for life.
Achievement items for each level are counted
only for that level being earned. When a level is earned they are not counted for the requirements of the next level but can be
repeated to meet the requirements.
The President's Choice White Star Award:
This award is given to only one
member
per year based on the President's choice for outstanding contribution to
the club. A member cannot
