Policy:
The Social Committee encourages and fosters activities that promote social interaction among residents, creating a strong sense of fellowship and entertainment. To ensure adequate direction of multiple activities several sub-committees administer the following activities:
- CCRA dances
- CCRA coffee hour
- CCRA special meals
- CCRA theatre and bus trips
CCRA is a non-profit entity and event expenses are contained in order to provide CCRA members with value for fees charged. Revenue should exceed expenses only by nominal amounts.
Some recreational events such as book club, card games, chorus, Friday Nighters, instructional classes, etc. may not be associated with the Social Committee.
The Committee does not serve in a fund raising capacity.
Event Funding:
Social Committee events are open to all CCRA members in good standing; however, CCRA members may be selective in their participation in events. CCRA funds derived from annual assessments are not to be used to support social events.
To provide value to CCRA members participating in Social Committee events, pricing for events is set to offset projected operating expenses with a minimum mark up. Each event is self-funded through ticket sales.
CCRA theatre and bus trips may include non-residents to meet the required level of participants. Charges to participants may include transportation, theatre tickets, accommodation, meals and gratuities. Charges for some meals may be in addition to event pricing.
Social Committee Use of the Centre:
Tentative reservations for use of The Centre are made with The Scheduling Coordinator in the early stages of event planning. Names, addresses and phone numbers of service suppliers and/or entertainers must be provided to the Scheduling Coordinator, along with the Social Committee/CCRA Member Event Application and Agreement form for Use of The Centre, at least two months prior to the event.
Functions open to all CCRA members and exclusively CCRA members are convened with no usage fee for the premises.
Social Committee events are posted on the event calendar.
For complete details on regulations and procedures pertaining to social events, committee, etc., residents should check the Administration Manual found in the library at The Centre.
