ISLAND TIME

     The VPHC Jimmy Buffett Concert Ticket Policy

The program is called 'Island Time'. The idea is to accumulate as much 'Island Time' as possible through participation in VPHC, its charities, environmental events, club activities, chats and by volunteering to help run and maintain the club. The more 'Island Time' you accumulate, the higher you will rank in the 'pecking order' when it becomes time for determining who gets Club Tickets for the shows.

1. 'Island Time' earned in one year will be used to determine the 'pecking order' for the shows held the following year. There will

be some exceptions for shows that are announced (and ticketed) in one year and which actually occur in the next year.

2. There are two mandates. 1. Members dues must be current as of 12/31 of the previous year and as of the date tickets are shipped. 2. A minimum amount of participation in Club and/or “C/E/C” activities is expected. This is outlined in 3.

3. 'Island Time' will be awarded according to these guidelines:
Members MUST accumulate ‘Island Time’ from AT LEAST TWO (2) GROUPS (from Groups 1 – 4) to be eligible for club tickets.

Group #1:
CHARITY/ENVIRONMENTAL/COMMUNITY EVENTS (C/E/C)
• Award 3 days of 'Island Time' for participating in each event
• No 'Cap' on the days earned
Island Time in this group will be awarded for the following:
• Coordination or participation in a Local “C/E/C” Event sponsored by VPHC.
• Individual participation in national charity events like the MS and Alzheimer's walks, and Earth Day/Green Up Day events.
• Participation in any local charity (with the Director of Charities approval).
Island Time awarded for individual participation in national events may require some type of documentation (as determined by the Director of Charities). Island Time is only awarded for participation (not contributions) in these types of activities. Additionally, if an event is not actively promoted by VPHC, it is best to get approval from the Director of Charities before the event.
Island Time will be awarded for auction donations as follows:
• 1 day per item donated. A 2nd day will be awarded if the item brings more than $100 at auction. As with other charity activities, there is no cap on days accumulated through auction donations. Donated items must be in “Like New” condition or have other special value. The Director of Charities has the right to refuse any items that he/she considers inappropriate.


Group #2:
PARTICIPATION IN CLUB-SPONSORED NON “C/E/C” EVENTS
• Award 1 day of 'Island Time' for volunteering in an event in this group.
• Award 2 days of 'Island Time' for coordinating an event in this group.
• No 'Cap' on days earned
Island Time will be awarded for the following:
• Working as a volunteer in (or coordinating) events for VPHC at MOTM..
• Working as a volunteer in (or coordinating) events for PHiP at MOTM (confirmation through the MOTM committee chairs)
• Working as a volunteer in (or coordinating ) non “C/E/C” events sponsored by VPHC
• Be a winning bidder in one of our auctions (1 day each item, 2 days if more than $100)


Group #3:
CHAT PARTICIPATION / BOARD MEETING ATTENDANCE
24 hours accumulation required to qualify in this Group.

• Award 4 hours of 'Island Time' for participating in each Scheduled Weekly Chat
• Award 4 hours of 'Island Time' for participation in each online Board Meeting. (A cap of 4 hours per month)
• A 'Cap' of 7 days earned per year for this category (an extra 3 days per year may be earned by Chat Moderators)


Group #4:
CLUB OPERATIONS
Award 'Island Time' to reward those involved in the actual day to day operation of VPHC including (but not limited to):
• Club Officers
• Directors Emeritus
• Committee Chairs
• Chat King/Queen
• Special Assistants
Amount of 'Island Time' awarded to be determined by the VPHC Board of Directors.

Group #5:
MEMBER SENIORITY (Good for Island Time Points only)
• Award 1 day of 'Island Time' per year of continuous membership
• A 'Cap' of 7 Days earned for this category

4. Tiebreakers, if needed are (in order):
• Amount of 'Island Time' accumulated through participation in "C/E/C" Events.
• Amount of 'Island Time' accumulated through participation in Club-Sponsored non “C/E/C” Events
• Amount of 'Island Time' accumulated through participation in Chats.
• Amount of 'Island Time' accumulated through Club Operations.
• Amount of 'Island Time' accumulated from Seniority.

5. If you are involved in a Land Based Parrot Head Club, you may not use your participation in their events towards VPHC ‘Island Time’ points.

6. This program will be effective 1/2004 for all concerts beginning in 2005.

7. For concerts announced in one year, but occurring in the next year:
A. Members must have met the Two Group mandate by the time the ticket queues open for these shows.
B. Members receiving Club Tickets for these shows must pay their dues for the following year at the same time that they pay for their club tickets.

8. If a member disagrees with a decision by the Ticket Coordinator regarding the administration of the 'Island Time' program, they may appeal that decision to the VPHC Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, in turn, will appoint a 3 member appeals committee (none of whose members are involved in the administration of the 'Island Time' program) to resolve the problem. The decision of the appeals committee will be final.

9. Note that the 'Island Time' program is simply a means to determine eligibility and set priorities in obtaining Club Tickets. All Club Ticket rules of PHiP apply in addition to VPHC 'Island Time' rules.
