PCAH "PASSPORT" REWARD PROGRAM

Hello PCAH Chapter Members,

I would like to introduce our newest member program which is called the “Passport”. (View Passport Front and Inside). We hope this Passport program will encourage you to participate in more chapter events such as educational classes, seminars, fundraisers and chapter socials. All active and junior members are eligible to participate in this rewards program.

Q: What is the Passport?
A: Enclosed you will find your very own Passport that will allow you to keep track of all the points earned for attending and being involved with the PCAH Education classes, Seminar, Fundraiser, Social Events and any other chapter events. All points earned can be applied for payment towards school/cook books, cooking tools, cooking classes, ACF sponsored events, registration or membership fees.

Q: How does it work?
A: For every ACF PCAH seminar, educational session, chapter event, chapter social and fundraising efforts you participate in you will receive a designated amount of points. It will be your responsibility to collect your points on your passport on site. It is very important that the points you earn must be validated with a signature from the Event Chair or Treasurer on-site. You will not be able to collect signatures after the day of the event, seminar or other chapter events. Below are the indicated points you will received for each event.

Education classes, Seminar or Chapter Event
Organizer = 20pts, Worked = 1 pt per hour, Attended = 5pts

Fundraiser:
For every $100.00 raised = 1 pt

Chapter Social:
Organize = 20pts, Worked = 1 pt per hour

Conversion -1 point = $1.00

Example: If you would like to use your points to pay for your$75.00 junior membership fee you will need to earn 75 points.

Q: How do you process the accumulated points towards school/cook books, cooking tools, cooking classes, ACF sponsored events, registration and membership fees?
A: Submit your Passport and receipt for the item/fee to the treasurer for reimbursement.

This passport program will go into effect on May 1, 2007 and is subject to be discontinued at the discretion of the PCAH Board of Directors. Should the passport be discontinued, all earned points will be honored for 90 days after the date of discontinuation of the passport program.

Please note that in case you loose the passport the Professional Chefs Association of Houston will not be responsible for any lost passport or replacement of points. Points can’t be transferred to other members or be used for anyone else than the assigned members.

Please check our ACF PCAH chapter website for upcoming educational classes, seminars and social events by visiting our events page.

I am looking forward to seeing you at future events and in your participation to make PCAH a strong and vibrant chapter.

Have a Flavorful Day,

Fritz Gitschner, CMC, ACC
