== Member Rewards Amendment ==

The Board of Directors is authorized to reward any members who perform the necessary work and negotiations to attract, fulfill obligations of, and retain third party monetary donations to Pumping Station: One.  The nature of these rewards will be in the form of Store Credits (defined below) and/or gifts.  Gifts may include, but not be limited to: Pumping Station: One tee-shirts, stickers, and artwork.  

Members can be awarded Membership Rewards Points (Points) for various things they do that benefit the space. Points can be redeemed for items purchased from Pumping Station: One and/or used to reduce a member's dues / increase member status.

Points are valued at the difference between Full Membership and Starving Hacker Rates or $20, whichever is more.

   

Points can be earned by:

Bringing in donations from third parties (cumulative throughout the year) $100 gets 1 Point, then an additional point every $200 thereafter.

Running a public event of ten or more attendees or class of five or more earns 1 Point. Only one member can receive a Point award per event.

  Performing a substantive, significant service to Pumping Station: One (as determined by the Board of Directors). For example: a cleanup event, organizing a large scale party (such as Geek Prom), donor event, etc.

Status increase - Get 1 month of full member status for the price of starving hacker membership.

Other, as determined by the Board of Directors.  

The actual policy of rewards given per amount of donation or formula for determining the rewards will be decided by vote of the Board of Directors and shall be publicized to all members. [''Editorial note: policy of rewards given may be found in the wiki under [[Member Rewards]].'']

The Treasurer shall maintain record of Points.  

In the case where more than one member contributed materially to the work for the donation, the reward will be split evenly amongst the participating members.  

Points have no cash value, and they expire 12 months after issuance.  

The Treasurer shall track all Store Credits and apply them as requested by the owners of the Store Credits.  

Points may be transferred from member to member by contacting the Treasurer.
