Activity Clarifications
Committee meetings are considered to be events that include all committee members and would normally be one or two hours in duration for which the point program recognizes the efforts of the chairman for planning/organizing and the members for attending/participating. These meetings are not considered to be authorized committee work, which would normally occur if selected members were being trained or were supporting the committee's purpose outside of a committee meeting. The intention is that participation points are awarded either for a meeting or for authorized committee work, but not both for the same activity.

Committee members who work during Scottish Rite functions may receive points for authorized committee work in addition to points for attending. Scottish Rite functions include stated meetings, SR hosted events and reunions.

Volunteers are members who work at times not connected to Scottish Rite functions. Examples would include supplemental office workers, support for non-Scottish Rite events and KSA workday participants.

Reunions are Scottish Rite functions and involve a lot of extra effort from a lot of different workers. Half days are considered to be 4.5 hours or less. 4.5 hours to 8.5 hours are two half days. 8.5 hours to 12.5 hours are three half days. More than 12.5 hours are four half days and the Committee Chairman needs to actively recruit and train more workers. Rehearsal points are only for cast members and directors; support workers receive authorized committee hourly points. Reports for points earned during a reunion should be submitted within two weeks after that reunion.

Mentor visits with new members may be initiated by either the mentor or the new member within the first year of membership. Both mentor and new member qualify for points for each visit that is intended to promote the new member's participation.

While recognizing that members may, for non-Scottish Rite reasons, attend a non-Scottish Rite function that rents our facility, those members are only eligible for points for the time they spend actively working on Scottish Rite support committees as authorized at that event. Other Masonic groups may have their members volunteer to help, but these do not qualify as authorized committee workers.

Immediate family is defined as spouse, significant other, children, parents, grandparents, siblings, and parent's siblings.

Authorized committee work not clearly defined to be determined by the Secretary.
