CONTRA COSTA MINERAL & GEM SOCIETY

Welcome to the 2025 Rock Star Medallion Program!

This program is designed to encourage our members to participate more in our club AND reward those that do!

This is a CCMGS-ONLY friendly-competition program, not affiliated with CFMS/AFMS or any other organizations. Using a points-based system, members will be able to earn points for participating in certain club activities during the entire calendar year. Participants will be awarded at the end of the year Annual Holiday Party with a special participatory certificate, pin, or medallion depending on how they place that year. The one person with the MOST points accumulated each year will be officially inducted into the CCMGS Rock Star Hall of Fame!

2025 Program Ends | December 1, 2025

 

ALL CCMGS Members are welcome and eligible to participate in the CCMGS Sponsored Rock Star Medallion Program starting at any point of the year. If a Junior Member, the Junior Member must participate as a team-submission with their Parent in all points-earning tasks in order to qualify. Each member of the team-submission will be granted their own award if the team-submission earns placement.

 

Members participating in the 2025 Rock Star Medallion Program are required to maintain their OWN proof and record of participation through the provided log. Use the backside of that log if you need extra room for recording your participation. 

Participating members are responsible for signing-in on the respective sign-in sheets to earn points. 

The Membership Chair is ONLY responsible for cross-verifying the information the CCMGS Member provides.

 

All Participation Record Forms with CCMGS Member Names clearly stated are due to the Membership Chair no later than December 1, 2025 in order to be considered for qualification. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE!

 

Winners, or CCMGS Members that officially place in the 2025 Point Schedule above, will be notified prior to the Annual Holiday Dinner Party. Those that place in the respective levels will be welcome to receive their award during the Official Recognition Ceremony held during the 2025 Annual Holiday Dinner Party. 

 

The one (1) CCMGS Member with the MOST accumulated points earned and verified for the 2025 Calendar Year will officially be inducted into the CCMGS Rock Star Hall of Fame listed on our Website and Newsletter. This person will be announced at the Annual Holiday Dinner Party for the first time, and will then be notified if not present, and then followed by being listed in the Newsletter for January 2026.
