KIRKLAND LAKE AQUATIC CLUB PARTICIPATION POINT SYSTEM

The success of a swim club is dependent on active parent involvement and participation.  To encourage volunteer participation, each family will be required to earn volunteer participation points annually.  When a swimmer is registered, a volunteer cheque will be required from each family.  This cheque shall be dated for June 1, 2010 and only cashed at the end of the season if total points and bingo obligations have not been met.  Our goal is to have ALL our members actively involved in the swim club’s success.  If we all work together we can keep fees from increasing by participating in all fundraising opportunities.

Each family will be required to earn (500 POINTS FOR FAMILIES WITH ONE 10 AND UNDER SWIMMER, 700 POINTS FOR ALL OTHERS)by the end of the season.  The following is a break down of only some of the ways you can accumulate your EARN BACK points.

No more than ˝ of your points can be accumulated before January 2010.

In addition to EARN BACK points each family will be encouraged to participate in the FUNDSCRIP program.  It will cost you nothing and up to 200 points can be earned by using FUNDSCRIP.   Please see attached registration information on how it works.  In order to meet a goal of $8000 each family would only need to raise $200 through FUNDSCRIP.  If you do not have internet access please feel free to ask one of our board members for assistance in having gift cards ordered for you.  Each family would only have to raise $20 per month.  A family of three can easily raise more than that by just purchasing cards for groceries and gas.  For every dollar raised one point is earned.

 

It will be easy to accumulate your points, you will have fun doing it and you will help the club and the program in the meantime.  Points not reported, are points not earned.  You need to submit your participation point’s form to Gina Ross or Stacey Levesque.  All forms must be signed by the committee chair, fundraising leader or an executive member.
