Comments specifically designed to inflame, incite or demean others are further prohibited.

Non members are invited to participate in such special purchases but may NOT arrange or post information about them. Any other posts of a commercial nature require the specific approval of the Team RX-7 Board of Directors.

C. Chapter Formation:

Team RX-7 encourages the formation of local chapters. Members who join such chapters are required to join Team RX-7. New chapters will be approved by the Board of Directors based on geographical distribution to avoid one chapter impinging on another chapter's area in order to avoid duplication of efforts.

PURPOSE

The purpose of these guidelines is to ensure that any and all activities carried on by Team RX-7 members meet the high standards of Team RX-7 and conform to ethical operation with regard to the collection and disbursement of funds needed to carry on these activities. In order for Team RX-7 to sanction any event, it is expected that the organizers will adhere to these guidelines. In addition, in order for an event to be sanctioned by Team RX-7, all registered participants must fill out and submit a copy of the Waiver From at the time of registration. Those waiver Forms are to be forwarded to the Owners Residence; Lee Wrisley, 150 Windward Drive Barnegat, NJ 08005 and kept on file.

SAFETY

Any event should be organized such that the personal safety of participants is paramount. Activities should be conducted in such a way that no one is put in jeopardy of their personal safety and that of the vehicles involved. In the case of events where Drag Racing is included, the safety rules established by Team RX-7 and listed below should be followed.

NOTICE OF EVENTS

The organizers of any event shall provide timely information about the event as to it’s location, duration and any and all information needed by someone in order to determine their attendance. It should be clearly stated whether the event is being conducted by the National organization or whether it is a local chapter event along with who is eligible to attend. Non RX-7/Rotary owners can be invited to attend provided that an additional fee is added to the Registration Fees for non-members. Conversion of that Non RX-7/Rotary participant’s fee is to be converted into a one-year trial membership and the additional fee shall equal the cost of that one year trial membership. In the case where no registration fee is required of members, the fee for non-members still applies. ANY INDIVIDUAL NOT SHOWING THEIR CAR OR RACING CAN ATTEND!

ACTIVITIES

The activities for an event should be of sufficient variety as to appeal to a wide range of interests and include some activity specifically geared to children should they attend in sufficient numbers to warrant specific activities.

REGISTRATION FEES

Any and all registration fees should cover the expenses needed to operate the activity but NOT be used to raise funds for a chapter or Team RX-7. Should there be a surplus after all expenses are paid, that surplus is to be applied toward partially covering registration fees for the next event. Should the event be a local chapter event, any surplus shall be applied to the next event held by that chapter.

FUND RAISING AT AN EVENT

Team RX-7 or a local chapter can raise funds for their own needs beyond the cost of the event by way of raffle ticket sales for prizes or other means. Regardless of whether an event is nationally or locally conducted, any sales from the Team RX-7 Store will revert back to Team RX-7. To avoid potential conflicts of interest, Team RX-7 Officers, Board Members, members involved in organizing and running an event and their relatives are NOT eligible for prizes. Children under 16 of non-eligible members ARE eligible for childrens prizes.

COLLECTION AND DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS

The chapter liaison is solely responsible for and accountable to Team RX-7 regarding the receipt, disbursal and handling of chapter funds. This includes, but is not limited to, the budgeting, accounting and reporting of such funds in a timely manner. The liaison has the option to designate an event specific treasurer solely at their discretion. Accountability for the assigned person’s actions however, remains solely with the liaison.

A full accounting of all funds collected and disbursed for any event shall be provided to the Treasurer of Team RX-7 within 10 business days of the conclusion of any event in which funds are collected. Said record shall be forwarded to the Owners Residence at 150 Windward Drive Barnegat, NJ 08005
