It's getting to be that time of year again where we will be determining assessment amounts. As many of you know, the September timeframe will require a large outlay of money to cover our early meet expenditures.  We are currently working with Melanie to finalize the budget.  Although we don't have the final numbers, it does appear the residual VGBC funds will not come close to covering our early year meet fees.  Therefore, please expect the first assessment of the season to be distributed early August to be due by the 15th of the month. The exact amount will be determined soon.

 

One thing even less fun than paying the assessment, is tracking people down to pay. It's not fair to the other member families who do pay on time and it's not fair to the VGBC Board.  That said, we have implemented a stricter policy.  In cooperation with the Apex owners, the gymnast of any family who has not paid, or made arrangements to pay, within 10 days of the assessment due date will not be permitted to compete in any meet until payment or arrangements for payment have been made with the VGBC treasurer.

 

In addition, as stated in the Handbook, if a gymnast leaves the team, the VGBC member is responsible for the assessment for the last quarter in which the gymnast was a member.  i.e., if the gymnast leaves in November, the VGBC member is responsible for the 2nd Quarter assessment.  
 

The sincere hope is that this policy will never need to be enforced. A large majority of our families do pay on time, every time. And while we hate to hold things against the girls, with the issues we've encountered in the past, it was decided we needed consequences that would get people's attention.  If anyone has questions, etc. I encourage you to contact us (or any board member) directly. Thank you all for your attention in this matter.
