Palmetto Ski & Outing Club’s Checklist For Leading a Non-Ski Event
By The Piper

These are the steps that South Carolina’s Palmetto Ski Club suggests to help prospective activity leaders in leading a non-ski event:

• Select an activity. Determine the cost and the best time for the event.
• Select a date and coordinate with the club’s non-ski activities director.
• Advertise the event in the newsletter at least two months in advance using MS Word, Works, or Publisher software. Send a copy (in time to meet the club’s newsletter deadline) to the editor, webmaster, non-ski director, and president of the club.
• Prepare a two- to five-minute announcement to share at the membership meeting. Notify the club president at least one day before the club meeting to put the event on the meeting agenda.
• Make a sign to go on or above your event’s sign-up table.
• Have the standard club reservation and release for single-day activities signed by each person who signs up for the event.
• Determine the total cost of the activity, establish a budget, and get a check request form if club funds are needed in advance.
• Deposit all activity funds within five days of receipt. Deposit slips are available from the treasurer.
• Return all copies of the deposit slips to the treasurer as soon as possible. Please include on the deposit slip as much information as possible. Turn in your activity sign-up forms.
