Not a big deal, some that don't attend banquet get their pins at the first business meeting the next season.

A lot of guys wear their service pins on their warmup jackets.

Twenty-five years: Plaque, and speech by the awardee at our local annual year end banquet. It's a big deal.

Fifty years: In addition to above, International IAABO presents an award (plaque and watch) at one of the twice a year conventions. Also a big deal. Especially if one likes to booze it up and play lots of golf.

Now where are my years of service pins? Probably with my missing house keys?

Both the OhioHSAA snd the MichiganHSAA give certificates starting at 20 years. And I have received a jacket from the Trumbull Co. Bkb. Officials Assn. gave me a jacket when I hit 45 years.
