If I had not been handed this earlier in the week, I would not have believed it to be true.
I am truly humbled to have received this recognition.

Congratulations. Well earned.
Congratulations and well deserved! Yes, I too would like to know how this works and what are the steps/procedures to achieve said points?
Well done my friend!
Thank you gentlemen.
Points are accrued by 1, showing up at meetings signing the board for your attendance, and 2, entering into, winning, or even displaying models at the meetings and contests.
I honestly still don’t know how this happened, as I had done better and more in both respects in previous years.
Thanks Carlos, I like that system your club has for ensuring attendance and participation from its members. If you don’t mind me asking, about how many members are in your club and about how many show up for your meetings each time?(I realize that attendance probably drops off during the Summer months)
Congratulations, Stik. Sounds like a well-deserved accolade!
Congratulations Stik (Carlos)! And I love the kick to the head. 
@MR_TOM_SCHRY, Tom Phoenix IPMS is a pretty big chapter… a rough guesstimate is that there are 80+ members at every monthly meeting. with at least that many more on rolls paying dues. The only time that numbers at meetings really dip is around the time of Nationals.
@gomeral, & @RealG, thank you gentlemen! Neal, I honestly felt like that kick in the head when I heard that somehow I was awarded this honor. Gotta love Monty Python. 
Sir Stik, you have vanquished the Black Knight in fair combat. We are duly impressed by your prowess in modeling and your honour… OW!!!

SPANISH INQUISITION!!!
Of course, no one expects the Spanish Inquisition. They are too wily, employing their 3 main weapons of surprise, fear, and a near fanatical devotion to the church.
