&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h1 class=&quot;title&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.3em; margin: 0px auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Book Points - Ok what are Book Points?&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;&quot;&gt;Submitted by President on Mon, 2005-02-14 02:32&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.016666412353516px; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;&quot;&gt;
Ok, what are Book Points and why should we want to know.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.016666412353516px; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;&quot;&gt;
Book points are a way for you (club members) to purchase books, fish books, for your home library.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.016666412353516px; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;&quot;&gt;
Here is how it works. When a club member participates in any of the EIAA programs: WAP, BAP, HAP, APAP; book points are awarded according to the number of program points awarded. Example, if you write an article for the FinFlap and acquire 6 WAP points you are also awarded 0.6 book points. Every ten program points equals one book point.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.016666412353516px; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;&quot;&gt;
When you participate in the Bowl Show each month, again you receive a book point for every 10 Bowl Show Points.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.016666412353516px; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;&quot;&gt;
When you enter the Spring Show you receive: one book point for each entry, 2 for best of class, 4 points for Best of Show, Best Aquascaping and Showmanship, 3 points for winning Celebrity&#39;s Choice, Runner-up Best of Show, Runner-up Aquascape, Novice, Jr. Best of Show, etc.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.016666412353516px; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;&quot;&gt;
After a number of points have been acquired, contact the Book Point chairperson and the club will buy you books. About 2 points per $1. Your choice.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.016666412353516px; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;&quot;&gt;
Members who take on special jobs, like President, Secretary, Exchange Editor, are encouraged to write articles to keep the members updated on club activities and through that writing they receive points via WAP.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.016666412353516px; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;&quot;&gt;
It is a great way to be rewarded for your participatio in EIAA and to grow a great library.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.016666412353516px; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;&quot;&gt;
Be involved - Collect Points, Buy Books!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.016666412353516px; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.016666412353516px; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.016666412353516px; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-top: 0.5em;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
