Fundraising 2011-2012
Like all other organizations we (the executive) are trying or best to keep overall costs down along with the registration costs for our members. Our organization, has been experiencing many increasing costs that we can no longer cover with our current level of registration and fundraising.
One of our biggest costs is the HST on the ice we pay for. The cost of ice itself is increasing annually.
We want to encourage participation in hockey and to meet our budgetary obligations, so our choice is
- increase registration per player - or -
- major fundraising.
It was decided by the executive that the least impact on the players would be to take on a major fundraising project. As this fundraising project is for the benefit of every player in the association, it was decided that every player would participate in the fundraising.
We are once again planning to raffle a car. This is one of the fundraising activities that can you can participate in.
This fundraising project has been attached to the player registration form in the form of a “$100. Fundraising Fee” which is due and payable at registration. We have received a lot of feedback regarding the payment process in advance of the season. We understand how difficult it is to pay the registration portion up front, let alone the fundraising fee.
It was later decided that players have the option to:
- pay the fundraising fee with their registration – or -
- pay cash by October 30, 2011 or issue a post-dated cheque for the $100.00
Any player that owes AVMHA any money on October 31, 2011 will not be allowed to go on the ice. This will be strictly enforced.
If funding your child’s registration is a problem, please do not wait until September. There are various funding programs available. Contact our treasurer or registrar as soon as possible.
