Work Hours 

What are they and How do I earn them.

I hope this will explain what work hours are. Each year when the dues slips are mailed out our work hour Chairman gets call after call about work hours fee.

History

Some years past the Board of Directors was looking for a way to encourage members to use the club. They also found it would keep the cost of dues down by keeping the cost of maintenance down.

They started a work hour fee. Each member of the club 62 or younger has a choice of donating 10 hours of service to the club in exchange for deleting $50.00 off his "work hour fee" not dues.

What this means is you can donate 1 hour to the club on workdays and receive $5.00 off your work hour fee. Normal work days start at 9 am on Saturdays and go to at least 12 noon.

They also felt it was a good policy to deduct one hour of work off your work hours fee for each General membership meeting you attend after your first year. So if you come to 10 meetings a year you would satisfy your work hour fee commitment and save $50.00 a year. That's why you sign in at each meeting.

"Work Hours" are meant to be hours you work during a SCHEDULED WORK DAY, or another work day the cub has. Normally the club has scheduled work days at least two times a month on Saturdays all year long. See the Calendar in the front club house on the door to the back room.

It is not meant to take the place of helping do things you would be doing anyway if you were there. Like helping at the bar during a meeting, or trap shoot. Things that you would be doing as you enjoy the club. IF YOU HELP DURING AN EVENT IT MUST BE A BOBWHITE CLUB EVENT. Example: "youth shoots" are not a Bobwhite Club event, They are not sponsored by the Bobwhite Club. They are an approved group using the club grounds and do not count toward your work hours. The Board of Directors or General Membership would have to approve an event outside of a Bobwhite club event for work hours.

IF YOU DO WORK HOURS YOU MUST FILL OUT A PAPER STATING

LEAVE IT ON THE SHELF BEHIND THE BAR IN THE FRONT CLUB HOUSE. If you do not fill out this paper you will not get credit for the work. No one else is going to fill this out for you. Bruce will pick them up and record the information. Work hours are due in by November 30 of each year so the Annual Due slips can be sent out in December.

Our Work Hours Chairman is Bruce Works. He keeps track of all works hours. For more information contact Bruce directly at  A.WORKS@INSIGHTBB.COM 

Work done or meetings attended after November 30 will be recorded on the following year's records.

If you need things to do outside of a normal workday contact the Caretaker and he can assign you jobs to do. Please do this during convenient times for the Caretaker. He is off on Sundays so please contact him during the weekdays not on Sundays.

Workdays are sometimes scheduled by Bobwhite Club event chairmen so they may at times contact members for help during the year.

If you have any questions about work hours contact Bruce at  A.WORKS@INSIGHTBB.COM
