The purpose of this program is to promote visitation and friendly competition at the chapter level. Any and all chapter "participants", to include North Carolina District and Region N staff, may participate in the capture of the Tar Heel Traveler.

A minimum of four GWRRA members, representing a North Carolina Chapter, is required to capture the Tar Heel Traveler. With a 24 hour notice, a District Staff or a Region N staff member (maximum of 1) may stand in for you as a member; however, if the District Staff members are standing with their home chapters, there is no maximum.

The plaque may be captured by automobile or motorcycle.

There is no minimum mileage required. The chapter traveling the longest distance will claim the plaque. The releasing Chapter Director shall have the final say in determining distance traveled.

The capturing Chapter Director is responsible for notifying Ron & Alice Myers @ (336) 697-8193 or by email to grm0476@aol.com within 24 hours of capture.

Within thirty-five (35) days of capture, the capturing chapter must make the plaque available at their next monthly meeting or at their scheduled Chapter Special Event, whichever comes first. If a chapter does not have a regular meeting or special event scheduled within thirty-five (35) days, then that chapter is not eligible to capture the plaque.

The plaque should be awarded as soon after the meeting starts as possible. If it is being given away during a scheduled Special Event, it should be given away as soon as possible following the start of the closing ceremony.

Once a chapter has captured the plaque, that chapter is not eligible to capture it again until one other chapter has captured the plaque; however if the plaque is not captured at the next monthly meeting or scheduled Chapter Special Event, then at the following meeting or event, any North Carolina chapter, including the previous chapter that possessed the plaque, may capture it to avoid having the plaque sitting idle for more than one month.

The capturing chapter will attach a visitation bar to the Tar Heel Traveler upon capture.

The chapter capturing the plaque the most times will receive $100.00 and permanent possession of the plaque. Any ties will be decided by a drawing at the 2012 North Carolina Operations meeting.

The inclusive dates for this program are January 31, 2011 to December 31, 2011.
