Volunteer
Bucks
The
Volunteer Bucks program was developed to encourage participation
in chapter events, especially participation in committees. You can
earn Volunteer Bucks simply by participating in various CIASTD activities
throughout the year. You can use your Volunteer Bucks to bid on
silent auction items at monthly programs and other special events,
such as December’s Holiday Program. You can also use your
Volunteer Bucks to pay for the monthly program (new edition volunteer
bucks only like sample above). Volunteer Bucks never expire, so
you can save them as long as you like!
