NEERS STICKLEBACK AWARD

This is a special award given at the conclusion of a NEERS meeting. It is given to the NEERS member attending the meeting who, in the opinion of the previous award winner, meets the following criteria and is most worthy. The criteria are (all must be met):

Distinguises her/his self in dancing until the end of the music after the banquet
Attendance at the first presentation the next morning
Exemplary service to NEERS

 It is only given if someone fulfills the criteria, so it is not necessarily given each meeting.

The award consists of a cherished copy of the book "The Life Cycle of a Stickleback" by Philip Parker, Illustrated by Jackie Harland, published by the Bookwright Press, 387 Park Avenue South, New York, NY 10016 in 1988. It includes a discussion of the stickleback's "zig-zag" dance. The book was given to NEERS by member Cindy Delpapa in 1998 specifically to establish this award. The book remains in the possession of the award winner to savor their achievement. It is their responsibility to bring it to the next NEERS meeting.
