How did you thank your engineers/mentors/sponsors this year?

So after a couple weeks, we got the letters from the President and I think they got a medal or something or whatnot...the whole thing wasn't fully explained to me. Then we gave them a framed photo of our team picture with a note saying Thanks.

Just to clarify a bit...
First, thanks to Cheryl Miller, mentor on Team 294 for informing the CD community about these awards.

You document volunteer hours and depending on level, you get a certificate for the individual or the team. I decided to get one certificate for the team (instead of individual ones), but then ordered pins for the mentors.

It's a small gesture of thanks.

If your team does not keep rough track of mentor volunteer hours now, start doing it. These numbers will come in handy for all sorts of things.
