The Token Store

Earn tokens to shop in The River Token Store! You can do this by helping out at the River or doing things to help yourself. This program replaces our monthly distribution days and allows guests with tokens to "shop" every other week!


How It Works
Complete a "token-worthy" activity to earn one or more tokens. Each completed activity must be verified by the Daily Operations Manager before virtual tokens are distributed. All multiple-token activities must have documentation or proof of activity to count toward token totals. Tokens will be kept up with by the Daily Operations Manager in each guests' Mail/Intake file. 

Every other Wednesday, ladies that have earned enough tokens and want to shop must fill out a Token Store Order form no later than 12:30 pm that day. The Daily Operations Manager will fill orders no later than 12:30 pm that Friday. Guests who do not pick up their order by 12:30 pm Friday will not only miss out on their order but will lose the tokens spent on the order as well.

Most activities are rewarded with 1 Token, however, gratuity increases with the level of involvement and effort the activity requires.
