FUND RAISING & VOLUNTEERING
We have plans for another busy ski season within
all the different programs: Nancy Green and E/K/J/FIS. The Revelstoke
Ski Club maintain's a healthy budget supported by RSC membership fees, fund raising activities, grant
applications and events/races.To fall in line with other Ski Clubs and because of the huge number of volunteers it takes to hold races and to coordinate and run fundraising activities the following schedule is in place. Helping with club events and fundraising activities will contribute to the volunteer days. The club also recognizes the volunteer hours required to successfully hold events/races and therefore your volunteer time at another club's event can be used to supplement your RSC requirements. The schedule will be as follows: (updated Sept. 2011).
- Nancy Greene Program: $200 Volunteer Fee or 4 Volunteer days, min. 3 days local. (1 day requirement for 1/2 day program)
- E1/2 Development Program: $300 Volunteer Fee or 6 Volunteer days, min. 5 days local.
- K/J Programs: $1000 Volunteer Fee or 10 Volunteer days, min. 8 days local.
- FIS Programs: $1200 Volunteer Fee or 12 Volunteer days, min. 8 days local.
The Revelstoke Ski Club is more than just a service to teach kids to ski. As a club, we hope to gain participation of the whole family and promote the love of skiing and racing in a fun and fair manner. The above is only a guideline and is the minimum days required per family, it is of course hoped that all families will contribute to the highest level possible for their situation. The implementation of a Volunteer Day policy is an attempt to spread the work around so that we can involve as many people as possible.
Policy explanation:
- The number of volunteer days per family is as per the oldest child’s category – it is not cumulative.
- A volunteer day is one whole race day or six hours of other volunteer service.
- Refunds will be pro-rated on number of days full-filled.
What qualifies for a volunteer day?
- You coordinate / work at any event - your time contributes to your volunteer hours.
- You attend a RSC meeting as an executive member.
- You assist with regular club affairs, sponsorship drives, equipment maintenance etc.
Events include: parades, organized raffle club ticket sales (excludes BC Alpine tickets assigned at the beginning of the season), Homecoming, Glacier Challenge, Ski Swap, Warren Miller Movie, etc and of course races and mountain events.
