Completed Book Redemption by Email
Instead of sending completed books for redemption via US Mail, nearly all Special Program sponsors also support book redemption by email where completed books are submitted by
1) scanning or talking pictures of all book pages (including the front page) into a PDF, JPG, or PNG file(s),
2) attaching the file(s) to an email, then
3) sending the email to the designated redemption email address.
The recogition and award will still be sent by US Mail.
Qualifying Events Link
At the bottom of each Special Program entry listed below a Qualifying Events Link is displayed. Clicking on the link lists the events that have been marked by AVA clubs as qualifying for that special program. On the displayed page, the listed events can be further filtered by State and/or event group/type. Clubs mark events as qualifying for a Special Program when at least one distance option has a qualifier. Typically event directions provide further information as to the Special Programs that qualify for a particular distance option.
Our appreciation goes to all Committee Members of the Special Programs for the hard work in implementing and maintaining the programs as well as the financial contributions made to AVA as a result of each of the Special Programs.
