The making of a seminar...
|
Teachers
Fee:
|
Minimum
is $350.00 a day and goes up from there.
(Note: We have had very
few for $350.00.) |
Travel Expenses:
|
We provide airfare or
mileage and the final cost depends on where they are coming from. (Airfare and
gas prices are increasing all the time.) |
|
Rooming: |
Hotel for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. |
|
Food: |
All meals are provided during the time the teacher is in town. |
Supplies:
|
The board tries to include
the paint supplies and reasonably priced surfaces. Our purpose is to expose you
to different mediums without costing members exorbitant prices. |
|
Meeting Place:
| Myrtle Beach Golf and Yacht
Club currently charges $50 per day.
We have tried other places but have been quoted $100.00 a day or more. Most
places do not welcome painters. MBYG has always welcomed us, and they provide
a spacious place to paint along with kitchen and restroom facilities. |
Finalizing the cost of a seminar: |
|
|
-
We total all costs of
the seminar to the best of our ability.
-
We divide those cost
into how many members we think will attend.
-
If we do not get
enough response from the membership we can cancel within a reasonable length
of time.
If we do have to cancel we may lose our deposit and possibly the
teachers fees, as well.
-
Unless we can get a
commitment and payment from you ahead of time we cannot determine if the
class will make.
-
We do offer a refund
policy if you cancel 30 days in advance.
-
If you cancel after 30
days and if there is a waiting list the chapter will provide a refund to
you. We cannot return money if the seminar is not full.
-
It is our intent to
keep price at a minimum, however, seminar teachers fee's are rising all the
time.
-
Please realize that the
seminar and program chairman are following the direction of the board.
Any complaints should be directed to the president.
-
Any member interested
in reviewing the cost of a a particular seminar may contact the board
to obtain that information.
|
|
We are all painting
friends enjoying our time together. It is difficult for the seminar and program
person to have to call to remind members of unpaid commitments. |
I want to personally thank
the seminar and program chairmen for all of the time and effort that they put
into making each activity a success.
