Sweat Equity Fund/Workforce Program Background
Welcome fellow members, old and new. In an attempt to lower the cost and membership fees, we have decided to create a new “sweat equity fund/workforce program” for maintenance and up keep of our non-profit club. This fund/workforce will use members’ labor & talents to help save on maintenance costs and provide a safe and enjoyable facility for our families.
Since Abenaki is a non-profit club and runs a seasonal facility, it does require a fair amount of work in the early spring to have the facility ready for the paddling season. Due to the harsh winter weather, spring rains, vandalism, ground and building maintenance our time & funds are limited.
The program will start on the first weekend in June, which will give us approximately 4 weeks to get the club into shape. At the time of registration, each family membership will be required to write a post dated cheque for June 1 of $50.00.
Each Family membership must choose one of the two options:
Option 1-If the member decides not to work as part of the work crews then their cheque will be cashed on June 1st. These funds will go towards the renting of equipment, purchasing materials and other miscellaneous items to help in getting the club ready for opening day.
Option 2 -If the member decides to be part of the work crew, they will be required to commit to a 5-hour shift in one of the four weeks before opening. Each member will have the option of picking a time and category to work. Upon completion of their shift, their post-dated cheque will be returned to them. The categories are property, building and docks. A team leader will have a job for that team to complete for their shift.
There will be approximately eight team leaders, who will head up each work crew. They will be responsible to contact the property chair who will to have a list of prioritized tasks to complete. The prioritized list, will have been be created by the property chair, property committee, members and the board’s concerns. The property chair and team leaders will create a material list and/or equipment requirements to complete these tasks.
There will be a form at registration for everyone to fill out, even if you feel that you do not have any skills. Please feel free to bring any suggestions/concerns that you would like to have addressed through this program and drop it in the suggestion box at registration.
Thanks for your time,
Abenaki Property Chair
