Volunteer Appreciation Program

Program Details

The Guild is run on Volunteers.  This program is one small way to show our appreciation to our volunteers for their time and dedication to the success of the Guild.  Over time, we may enhance the program based on your feedback.  The program is 100% based on the honor system.  Twice a year we will ask how many hours you volunteered to the Guild.  You will then be able to use those points for Guild merchandise shown here.

Program Guidelines

  1. Respond to an email in June and December with how many hours your volunteered.  We doubt anyone will be counting your hours but do your best.  Be generous with your estimate and round partial hours up to a full hour.
  2. You can accumulate your points over time so you can get some of the more expensive items.
  3. We cannot mail items.  We will let you know when and where you can pick items up.
  4. Please respond to the email within two weeks so we can place the order promptly.  It may take up to 4 weeks for delivery.
  5. All the item in the catalog below can also be purchased on another web page (TBD).  But you cannot use both points and dollars to buy an item.  It is either buy or use points.
  6. You will get an email invoice showing what you ordered - keep this to show when picking up your items.
Board Members - you get 60 points a year for your efforts on the board.
Committee Heads - you get 60 points a year for your efforts running a committee
Instructors - you get 30 points a year plus a one time "Instructor Shirt" with your name embroidered on it
Shop Attendants - you get a one time "SA Vest" with your name embroidered on it.  SAs have their own recognition program for time spent as a SA so not part of this program

Class Coordinators – count your time in the class plus the time spent at home planning the class

FAQ

  • Should I count my travel time and time I spend at home as volunteer time?
    Yes, any time you spend on Guild business counts
  • I am a SA/Board member/Committee head and volunteer for shows, estate sales or other events.  Do I count these hours?
    Yes - these hours count on top of the points above
  • Can I get my item embroidered with my name on it
    Sorry no, not at this time.
  • My partner also volunteer their time, can we combine our points?
    Sorry no, not at this time.  We are trying to keep the program simple to manage with as few exceptions as possible.
  • I get an email invoice saying I owe money?
    Yes - the system automatically sends this - use this when picking up your items but no, you do not owe any money.

  • If I don’t have enough points for an item, can I pay for the rest?
    Sorry no, we are trying to make this as easy to manage as possible and given the tools we have, this complicates the task.  Note that all items in the Volunteer Catalog will be available for purchase on another page but we cannot combin points and dollars at this time.

  • Do my points expire?
    No but we encourage you to use them sooner than later.  We cannot predict the future.
