RSVP
Why do some Mosaic activities have an RSVP date?
-
Sometimes, we need to make reservations for the group based on likely attendance. The club could lose money if we do not work with the outside deadlines. We may need an advance deposit from those planning to attend.
-
Some trips have a limited capacity, and we cannot accommodate however many people show up on the day of the trip.
-
Some trips require certain equipment, clothing, experience, or fitness, and the TC needs to speak with every person interested prior to the trip.
-
Sometimes, the TC will decide whether there are enough people interested in the trip on the day of the deadline. If there are not enough people who have contacted the TC by that time, a trip could be cancelled.
Also, if you have RSVP'ed for a trip, but you are unable to attend, it would be considerate to notify the TC. On a trip with limited space, it will allow someone else to go. Also, it means that the TC knows they do not need to have the whole group wait for you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We support carpooling for a number of
reasons:
- Environmental – we are an environmental organization
- Limited parking at some destinations and trailheads
- Not all members have a car, and could not attend some trips without
carpooling
- Expense - Riders should ask drivers about reimbursement for gas and
parking expenses at the start
