Title: TMA Still Do This?
Post by: Bigsmoke on March 30, 2024, 03:52:50 PM
I was cleaning out some stuff today and I ran across this.

Wondering if we still do something like that?  I think it is rather meaningful, especially if it were awarded to long term members.
Sorry about the image needing to be turned, I couldn't see how to do that.

That looks like something Uncle Russ used to do. Most folks didn't see the need to do that anymore.

Darren, I do believe that I did get that from Uncle Russ.  It would have been 2010 or so, I think.
At the time, and still now, I do think that is a pretty nice thing to do.
And I also think that some of our members would appreciate something like that every 5 or 10 years.
Thinking about that, I guess I will be eligible for my 20 year pin next year.  My goodness, where does the time go?  That would be about a quarter of my life then.  Unbelievable.

It definitely came from Uncle Russ. Mine is still in the envelope with a return address label on it from Uncle Russ.

They also issued medallions, and this neat little pin. Sorry for the quality of the picture. [ Invalid Attachment ]

Hmmm, I don't recall ever getting one of those neat little pins.
I guess I am either a red headed stepchild or chopped liver.

I'm not seeing what you had in the original post, John!  is it gone, or has my confuser decided to censor it?

I could get pins made, if folks would want them.

Yep, got those, thinking we should do it up right next year for the 20th, the 10th medallions were made by a friend of Draggons, he used to make all our rondy medallions , dropped off the face of the earth, kinda like Dragoon!
