These points are used to determine the members of the year. We hand out plaques, along with prizes to match our theme. We hand out certificates for the members' accomplishments and celebrate with food and fun. Finally, we have the installation of our new officers at the very end of the event.

Honorary members also receive plaques and officers for the coming year are installed.
