Your Action: Volunteer to help lead the club at whatever levels you can, AND make sure your activity gets counted on the Worker Sign Up sheet. Hope to see you participating in all club activities. The Trekker Bucks can be used at Illinois Trekkers events, or purchase YR coupons, Event book or Distance book.
POCs Actions: POCs will keep a sign-up sheet of volunteer for each club walk. This will be turned in to the club treasurer after the walk. The treasurer will distribute Trekker Bucks according to the Sign-Up sheet.
