APPENDIX D: EXECUTIVE COUNCIL SPECIAL FUND RAISING EVENTS
1. These events are fund raising events for the AVA. They also set the tone with volkssporters about what constitutes a Aquality event. As such, they should be conducted with every attention to detail. They should be an Event not just a Walk.
2. Sanction request must be submitted on AVA Form 402SE (Figure D-1) with coordination from the appropriate State Organization (if applicable) or Regional Director for the state in which the event will be held. All AVA policies for sanctioning and conducting events, including the ninety (90) day deadline, apply to these events.
3. After receipt in the National Headquarters, the Executive Director will approve or disapprove the event. Upon approval, an event sanction number will be assigned and a copy of the approved ESR will be sent to the person conducting the event and the State Organization and/or Regional Director for the state in which the event will be held.
4. No sanction fees will be collected for these events.
5. No event stamp will be sent. Each National Officer or Regional Director should have a special stamp in his or her possession for this type of event. An Executive Council member is the only person authorized to use this special stamp. He or she will use this stamp only on officially sanctioned AVA Executive Council Special Fund Raising Events.
6. The event sponsor will submit the After-Action Report and financial figures on the bottom of the Sanction Request Form (AVA Form 402SE). He or she will attach all receipts for expenditures to the ESR. He or she will return all start cards and signed waiver sheets to the National Headquarters for storage. The event sponsor can include a check or money order for payment of the net proceeds, or, if preferred, he or she may choose to be billed for that amount.
7. All monies received or billed will go through the Officer's or Regional Director's account and appear on his or her monthly statement.
