• There must be at least five members of a Chapter present to be eligible to capture the Traveling Plaque.  They must be wearing Chapter Shirts or Chapter Vest or both and have traveled a minimum of fifty miles.

• If more than one Chapter from the District shows up to capture the plaque, then it will go to the Chapter that has traveled the farthest distance.

• Out-of-District Chapters will always take precedence over Chapters located within the state, regardless of the miles traveled.  If more than one Out-of-District Chapter comes to claim the Region Plaque, then the one that has traveled the longest distance will take the plaque home.

• As soon as the Plaque has been captured, the gaining Chapter Director or their designee must contact Roger and Dee Miller, Region D MED Coordinators.  Tell them where the plaque is, meeting details, and name and phone number of whom to contact for further information.  Roger and Dee will then post the location of the Plaque on the Region Web Page or they can be contacted at Rogermagic@comcast.net or (269) 665-9038 for the location of the Plaque.

• Once a Chapter has captured the plaque, it must allow at least two other Chapters to capture the plaque before they can once again claim possession.

• It will be the responsibility of the Chapter Director to ensure that the Traveling Plaque is at every Chapter function while in their possession, not just Chapter meetings.

• The Chapter Director will have the next plate in sequence engraved showing the capturing Chapter, miles traveled, Chapter received from, and the date of capture.  If desired, the plate may be sent with the above information and a stamped self-addressed envelope to Jim Hodges, 3805 Boxelder Drive, Brecksville, Ohio, 44141.  He will engrave the plate and return it at no charge.

• There will be a drawing for $100 at the end of the year.  Each time a Chapter has captured the Region D Traveling Plaque, the Chapter’s name will be entered into the drawing.

Note:  The intent of this plaque is to encourage Chapter visitations and travel between Districts within Great Lakes Region D.  Have fun on your travels!
