The Chapter Pride Patch is a program that
recognizes OCNYHOG members for supporting the chapter throughout the year.
A Chapter Pride Patch is awarded to a
member when they have earned 15 points for participation in various club
activities and have met the minimum number of required
points in each point category (see points chart). One point is awarded for
each activity and points are accrued throughout the year. The member
must sign the Chapter Pride Patch sign-in sheet at each event in order to
earn the point for that activity. It is the member’s
responsibility to locate and sign the sign-in sheet at the activity.
Chapter Pride Patch yearly rockers will
be awarded to signify the “year” in which the member earned the points
necessary for the award. Members who have previously earned the Chapter
Pride Patch will only receive the “year” rocker for each year thereafter.
“High Points” recognition rockers will be
awarded to members with the highest points accrued in each category at the
end of the year. Only one member per category will receive the “High
Points” rocker.
At the discretion of the Officers,
extenuating circumstances may warrant the OCNYHOG Chapter Pride Patch to be
awarded (outside the scope of minimum points) to any active member.
