Dear Patriot Woodworker's and prospects.

We are embarking on a cool new program here at The Patriot Woodworker to recognize the shaker and movers here on our site. As all our members are very valuable to us and the causes we support, we wish we could reward all of you with something special and more frequently. You all most certainly deserve it, you come here day in and day out and spend time here and that to us, is very special.

We thought of a way to reward those who are the movers and shakers here at The Patriot Woodworker and give them the Honorary Featured Member of the Month designation along with a very nice reward for their efforts here on The Patriot Woodworker and in their own communities.

We'll be looking for team players who are on here with us frequently. We'll be looking for volunteers in our own causes such as spending a day at your local Homes For Our Troops Events or stepping up to the plate here at The Patriot Woodworker to help us with our own events we hold. We'll also be looking for Patriot Woodworker's who have helped us grow by inviting new members aboard. We are also looking for members who are highly active, posting comments, starting their own content rich discussion on our forums, and just being a positive force here on The Patriot Woodworker.

All in all, we are looking for Patriot Woodworker's who are motivated to help us grow, and who are giving of themselves here and in their own communities.

Please see below the main criteria we will be searching for in order to determine the next Featured Member of the Month.

1. Contributions to The Patriot Woodworker Community in the areas of content submissions, forum posts, high activity, and an overall positive attitude.

 

2. Efforts in inviting friends to join The Patriot Woodworker.

 

3. Interest and level of support for the disabled vets we serve.

 

4. Offsite and local volunteering efforts with any charity organization ie: veterans groups, children's hospitals, fundraising clubs etc.

 

5. Efforts to spread the word about The Patriot Woodworker through social media sharing, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

We will use all or any or one of the criteria above to decide the monthly recipient of the tools contributed by our retail supporters of The Patriot Woodworker.

Here is just a snapshot of some of the fantastic items we are offering to that special Patriot Woodworker.

First up are some fine tools donated by our sponsors from

A # 4 Smoother and a Low Angle WoodRiver block plane donated by Woodcraft.

Second up are some fine tools and a certificate donated by our supporters from Laguna Tools.

And some wonderful Bessey Tools Clamps with accessories as donated by Bessey Tools North America!

And last but certainly not least a wonderful gift donated by our friends at Easy Wood Tools

A full size Pro Easy Finisher with Chip Deflector and extra cutters by Easy Wood Tools.

 

We will feature one tool per month along with one Featured Member recognized for their efforts to go above and beyond the call of duty here at The Patriot Woodworker and in their own local neighborhood by volunteering to help with veterans groups, children's hospitals, and anything related to the betterment of humanity through giving and charity.

So please brag about your accomplishments! Let us know what you do in your spare time at your local level for your charity organization, your church, veterans organizations and more.

Remember, we want folks who are helping us grow by their high active presence here, and folks who give of themselves.

Feel free to ask questions about our Featured Member of the Month program here in this discussion, and good luck Patriot Woodworker's!!!

Thanks, John for bringing this program on board.  We will be on the look out for your first nominee.  AND all other members can help by sending John a PM is you have a nominee and give him the reasons why the member should be nominated.  (Might take some of the pressure off our Site Admins with your help.)

Not sure where you'd place it, John, but maybe a link to this should be on the "home page".

It is Lew, First box in the center column, it's probably not be enough though.
