Revised House Party Standing Rules

PORTLAND SKYLINERS TALL CLUB

HOUSE PARTY - STANDING RULES
Revised 7/2011

a. The Portland Skyliners will reimburse a House Party host/hostess up to $25.00 for expenses such as ice and decorations. Paper goods (plates, cups, napkins) will be provided by the Club prior to the House Party. Therefore, there will be no reimbursement for paper goods. Itemized exceptions to the expense limit must be approved by the Board at a Board Meeting prior to the House Party and tangible items will become property of the club after the event. Receipts for expenditures must be submitted with the request for reimbursement to the Treasurer within 30 days of the party. If funds are advanced, receipts and money not spent should be submitted to the Treasurer within 30 days. If a budget larger than $25 is needed, a request for more money and justification for request must be presented for board approval at the board meeting prior to the event

b. House Party charges will distinguish between members and non-members. The host/hostess and one guest are exempt from the House Party charges, but any additional friends will pay the non-member charge.

c. The House Party host/hostess will be responsible for any money to be collected, and may delegate this duty. The money collected will balance with the number of signers on the Sign-In Sheet.


d. The host/hostess is responsible for ensuring the money collected is given to any Board Member. If no Board Members are present, the host/hostess will mail a check for the appropriate amount and the Sign-In Sheet within 7 days of the house party to: Portland Skyliners, Attn: Treasurer. The Treasurer will forward the Sign-In Sheet to the Membership Officer in a timely manner.

e. The host/hostess may designate half of the proceeds (the other half automatically goes to the general fund) from a House Party to be applied directly to funding for an established Portland Skyliner project. That designation must be printed in the Newsletter announcing the event and on the top of the Sign-In Sheet at the beginning of that House Party. Club projects include Marfan, float, Miss Tall Portland, scholarship, and other Board pre-approved events/projects.
