ONE NODA BUCK = ONE VOLUNTEER HOUR  and  ONE NODA BUCK = $1.00  When you volunteer your time to NODA,  you are given one NODA Buck for every hour you volunteer.     Best of all - they never expire !!!

WHY DO YOU NEED NODA BUCKS?
Mandatory -- You need 4 NODA bucks to be eligible for NODA Year-End Awards.    You don't want to miss out on these awards.  Remember the beautiful Champion Trophies and Scholarships and huge ribbons from the 2007 Palooza Awards Banquet?

Even better -- Use them like Cash!
