Instructions
All purchases must be made through the Branch Contacts or Branch Chairs. We are unable to process individual orders.
The merchandise program has an annual budget of $2,500 for samples and expenses. We search out the best suppliers and deals, and those savings are passed on to the purchasing branch. All items are sold to the branches at, or below, cost.
Webpage Guidelines & Comments
- The idea is not to involve support staff or provincial volunteer time. Each branch is responsible for placing their order through the Branch Contact.
- One member acts as a Lead Contact for joint orders.
- Terms of payment & billing address determined by the Branch Contact and the Supplier, i.e. credit card or direct payment from the branch treasurer via e-transfer or cheque.
- As we find appropriate items, they will be showcased for short periods. Hopefully the Branch Contacts will check back often and keep their branches informed. Random items will be chosen and listed for a designated period of time.
- Each item will have a start date and a completion date, after that the item is no longer available.
- Logo used on merchandise meets copyright requirements under BCGREA.
- Please keep in mind the order is prepaid, and all sales are final.
Branch Contact
- Places an order to supplier that meets the minimum requirement.
- If unable to meet minimum order requirement, invites other branches to participate in an order.
- Provides the billing info / address to the supplier for invoicing.
Merchandise Coordinator (Al Coccola)
- Oversees the merchandise webpage. Posts and removes items.
- Responds to questions and helps to facilitate the process.
