• Matt did an outstanding job on the wording for the nomination forms. (see below) Thank you, Matt
• We chose the individual plaque for award recipients – diamond impress acrylic in silver. (aka Bekky with a K)
• I will get more info on the perpetual plaque. We decided on one with space for a picture of Bob, but need to find a larger size than 10.5 x 13. It will have an excerpt from the wording that Matt put together for the nomination form.
• We came up with a logo- smaller shooting star from a larger star. I will ask our new member, image 360, if they can make the logo or go to Fivrr. As soon as I have a mock-up, I will send to all committee members ,via email, for feedback.
• The nomination form is going to be the same as Allstar Caregivers, so it will be ready by our next meeting (just waiting on logo). Emilee will add a QR code to link to the form on our website.
