Hi Dean and Jodi,
I understand the confusion. In order for HL to reimburse the chapter ($20 per member rig) for costs such as plates, forks, supplied beverages, supplied snacks, ice, decorations, extra raffles prizes, etc. we need to also collect that amount from non club members. In the past, we have supplied beverages for the appetizers and dinner and kept snacks available in the host campsite for those who stop to visit. I did a little breakfast thing last year at the OR rally. Jim Beletti sent out an email telling leaders that we must charge non members if we want to get reimbursement for members.
Deb and I have talked a little about what exactly we plan to do, but we haven't finalized plans. We may decide not to provide anything, not apply for reimbursement, and not charge anything. When Deb gets back from Elkhart so we can talk, we may decide that we aren't going to charge, but I decided to post it this way to give people as much notice as possible in case we do charge.
If you need further info, please send me an email and we can work it out. Sorry for the change, but his email pointed out to me that I had not posted the non member cost. If the chapter chooses not to charge, that is OK, but there will be no reimbursement. I put the same notice on the OR campout announcement, but you can choose to go with no charge if you would like. Just let me know.
Thanks,
Kristy
