THE ZONE SPORTS MEDAL CHALLENGE

Introducing the first zone sports medal challenge! Bronze, silver, gold or enamel medals will be awarded.

Here’s how it works:  

1. The zones of the 3^rd district will compete against each other.

2. The object is for each member of each lodge to participate in the sports medal program….. NOW!

3. This annual program will be from June 1^st 2008 - May 31^st 2009 and also June 1^st 2009-May 31^st 2010 and the winning zone for each year will be announced at the 2010 convention in June.

\     The awards for each zone will be on a per capita basis -- in other words number of medals divided by the number of members in the zone (based on the most recent 3-D directory). In other words if there are 27 medals earned in a zone of 550 members (27 divided by 550=.049 or 4.9%).  The highest percentage wins. The awards will be provided by the third district and have not yet been determined.  Just start moving now!

Remember, this is by ZONE and possibly it will bring zones together and work and/or socialize with each other giving strength and comradery to the district….use your imagination.  The Zone director will get the award and distribute within the zone as he or she sees fit.

Zone directors have enough work to do so I will not ask them to police it but I am asking them to announce and introduce it to the presidents and/or sports directors of each lodge in your zone and have them send the medal forms to Phil Nelsen, 3D Sports Director, not the zone director.

They can fax it, e-mail it or snail mail it; Fax number is the same as my home phone, 727-461-7746.
