That’s a wonderful idea, Caroline! Will be nice to have something we can plan
for and look forward to when we return to rehearsing again. In addition to the
actual rehearsing, of course. 😊

speaking of which, here's an ACWE concert program from March 1998 with at
least 4 current members, including Robert Laguna in the trumpet section.

I'm all for these tokens of appreciation and showing we value long
standing membership! I think it would be nice to recognize members
individually for their time and efforts and a small keepsake like a pin
or certificate is a nice gesture. How do we plan on tallying current
membership and keeping track of membership time moving forward (some
people come and go as time allows)?
Maybe we could have a membership recognition ceremony when we return to
regular rehearsals for the people who have been with us for a long while?
We have time now to think about this and plan for it. I think the yearly
ceremony is a nice idea moving forward. We could provide some
refreshments (baked goods/drinks) as well if we were to have the ceremony
dedicated to say the last 30 min or so of a Tuesday rehearsal. Likely a
good way to get the most people in attendance. Possibly mid-spring season?
Thoughts to ponder!

I really like the pin idea! Our logo could look really nice on a pin,
and it would make a nice keepsake. Probably a little more wearable than
an ACWE cardigan in Austin. 😉
Something we could also consider: certificates of appreciation at 5
years? Maybe a framed certificate at 15? The certificates would be
fairly inexpensive to print, and you can buy pretty decent frames in
bulk at a good price, too.

Hey guys,
I think it may have largely gone unnoticed in the chatter about
cardigans, but Melissa proposed award pins as something we might
consider for long-term members. I think I like the idea. It may be a
little corporate—God knows I have a few pins around from different
companies I’ve worked for—but it’s something members could wear to
concerts and the like while still matching the dress code.
I did a little digging around, and these kinds of pins aren’t
terribly expensive. I was thinking something like this:

doing different styles/sizes/finishes for different tenures, like 10
and 25 years. (Another Melissa suggestion).
