Well, it's been a while since I've updated this. I keep meaning to, but the time goes so fast! But I will start keeping up with this again. I've decided to drop the section where I list the awards we've won. There were so many it was starting to take quite a bit of time for me to sort. I'm sorry if this is a problem for anyone.

And now for the update on how we did in July.

We have 180 members who have accrued a total of 1688233 points. Wonderful job!

Everyone is welcome to join! If you have joined in the past but have not entered any activity for a while, don't worry. You're still in the program unless you removed yourself. It's never too late to start up again!


** Please note:

If you are in the Active Lifestyles Program, then you can only earn Active Lifestyle Awards (I won about four of them and never figured that out on my own. I thought after I got enough of them, I'd start working towards my first Bronze. But nope.) If you are in the Active Lifestyles Program and switch over to the Presidential Performance Program, you will be retroactively awarded a Metal award, but it will not show up on the list as an "earned" reward until you actually earn a reward while in that program. For example, I was awarded a President's Champions - Bronze when I switched to the Presidential Performance Program in December-05, but for the January-06 recap I was showing as still having an Active Lifestyles award. When you switch to the Presidential Performance Program, you no longer earn stars for daily activity, and your progress is expressed as a percentage of how far you have earned towards your next medal.

If you are in the Presidential Performance Program, there is a 750 daily cap on the number of points it will count towards your goal. From what I understand, if you go to the Advanced Performance Presidential Champions Program, all your points count, but it takes more of them to earn a medal.

(If I've gotten any of the above wrong, please reply to this thread or PM me and straighten me out!)
