Pop-Up and trip Leaders

We now have folders containing waivers, pens and a fill-in form should any non-members attend. These will be available starting on Friday and everyone who leads a trip should secure one. They will be available at the May meeting and if you need one prior to that let me know and I'll make arrangements to get you one.

I agree dennis. I guess I'm just having a senior moment on the non-member charge.

It was my understanding that non-members only paid the $10 Insurance fee. Perhaps I mistaken but I don't recall the $5 fee. Can someone enlighten me on this.

Dennis,
I'm still waiting to hear back from the insurance coordinator. This much I do know, unless you have a non-ACA member on one of your trips you don't have to do anything. If you send me a list of your participants I can check the status of their online waivers. I don't think you would need to collect the $5 fee from non-club members on a pop-up trip.

Dennis,
I wish there was an easy solution to this problem, but there doesn't seem to be. The information we need to know, ( membership in the ACA and whether they have a current waiver on file ), is available on the ACA website, but only if you are an administrator. Even then the information is constantly changing as memberships and waivers expire and are renewed ( or not.) Affiliate members from the MWA and M.R. Water Trail are not listed under STLC&KC they would have to be looked up separately.
As of today we have 117 club members that are also members of the ACA, some of whom do not have current waivers on file. I guess I need to have a conversation with the ACA insurance coordinator about these issues to see what needs to be done. Whenever I call her I usually have to leave a voicemail message and then it might be a week before she calls me back. I'll let you know when I hear something.

Unless non ACA member Insurance funds were collected no information needs to be forwarded to Gary has no follow-up trip report is necessary. If non-aca member Insurance funds were collected they need to be forwarded to Gary so I report to be filed and funds sent to Aca. We will be assembling clipboards with the necessary ACA waivers that will be provided to anyone leading an official trip or a pop-up trip. For non pop-up trips all who register in advance will have entered their ACA member and expiration date on the registration form . This information can be accessed by the trip leader or Marty can forward a printout of the roster . For pop-up trips this information is not available has no registrations are made . Hope this helps.
