Activities Director.

2. I forgot my checkbook or wallet. Can I still sign up?
Yes but that does not guarantee that you will have a spot on the bus trip. Until you pay the deposit for the bus trip you are not guarantee a spot on the bus. So get your deposit in as soon as possible.
3. What is the Cancelation policy?
Deposits for all trips will be established by the trip director and will be at least enough to cover the bus fees. Unless a replacement is found, expenses incurred by the Club such as bus fees are non-refundable and will be passed on to the person canceling. Any refunds should be mailed out two weeks after the completion of the trip (if any). In special situations, the Board of Directors, at its discretion, may decide to waive the cancellation fee. Special cases are to be submitted in writing to the board for review
4. What is the payment schedule?
Your deposit must be paid (9) days before the trip
The final payment no later then (3) days before the trip
5. When will there be a determination whether the bus trip has enough people to go?
Nine (9) days prior to the trip. A minimum attendance is required.
6. If I have not signed up by nine (9) days before can I still sign up?
7. What happens if I don't pay the remaining money by the Thursday before the bus trip?
You will be able to ride the bus but you will have to purchase your own lift ticket at full price. You will get a call from the activities director to confirm you are still going. This is to make it easier for the trip leader he/she does not have to collect money the day of the bus trip. (See Cancelation Policy)
8. If I plan to pay the deposit that I owe at the Thursday night meeting (9) days before the bus trip and Mt. Holly is closed. (Therefore NO meeting), what should I do?
9. If I plan to pay my remaining balance at the Thursday night meeting (3) days before the bus trip and Mt. Holly is closed. (Therefore NO meeting), what should I do?
Contact Activities Director for payment or see #7 above. Remember to plan ahead this is Michigan after all!
10. What if I'm late for the meeting on Thursday because of work, or car trouble, or anything can I still pay after the meeting is over?
Maybe! At 7:30 p.m. the activities table will close because we ski too, but you may catch the Activities Director after skiing. He/she may be in the lift lounge by 10:00 p.m.
11. Can I pay off the trip early?
YES!!!! Please do.
12. Now that I've paid my money, is there any possibility that the trip could be cancelled?
Yes, if we don't have the minimum number of people sign up ( See #5), or the roads are too bad on the morning of the trip, the trip could be cancelled.
13. How will I know if the trip is cancelled?
If the Activities Director cancels it you will be notified in advance (See #5). If it’s cancelled because of bad roads, the bus company makes that decision on the morning of the trip. The Trip Leader will be at the east side of the Miller Rd. K-Mart parking lot to let everyone know.
14. If a trip is cancelled, what happens to my money?
It will be mailed out within two weeks of cancelation of trip.
15. It's the day of the trip. What happens now?
Try to show up at least 30 minutes early (5:30 a.m.) to load your gear and find a seat. Once you find a seat, please sit down to clear the aisle. As soon as everybody is on board, or at 6:00 a.m., the bus will leave the east side of the Miller Rd. K-Mart parking lot. Then you may feel free to move around and socialize. Once we reach the resort please stay near the bus to receive your lift ticket - one ticket per person please. Do not ask for a ticket for some one else. At the end of the day, the bus will leave at 5:00 p.m. (or 7:00 p.m. for the Zoo Bar trips) Sharp. We will not take a head count to see if you're on the bus. When we get back to Flint please take all of your belongings with you. If you think you might have lost something on the bus, call the trip leader before calling the bus company. Chances are we found it first.
16. What happens if I miss the bus in the morning or something comes up and I can't make it and don't cancel in advance?
You will lose the incurred expenses (See Cancelation policy)
17. If I find someone to take my place in the last nine (9) days will they be charged the extra $5?
