Volunteering
Our Club succeeds because of our strong volunteer base. There are many ways to get involved in helping make events happen. This includes helping on a committee, organizing a league or bonspiel, bartending, kitchen and dining room help. Help sign up sheets for upcoming events are posted on the information board in the club lobby.
Role of Volunteers
In the upcoming season there will be a need for the continuation of the excellent volunteer response from the members. Volunteers that assist in operations lessening the need for paid employees make our club a viable operation. There are many and varied opportunities to volunteer at the club.
A Fee-in-lieu of Volunteering Program
Two postdated cheques (Jan 1 and March 1) per active member is to be included with the registration form. The cheques will be cashed if the member does not volunteer, or returned if appropriate volunteering is completed. If obligation (money or volunteer hours) is not received, then an invoice will be issued to the individual.
If an active member does not wish to volunteer they can provide a cheque for $120.00 (dated Nov 1) to be excluded from volunteering.
