-
Clubs seeking a monetary advance from OC for special event/project will submit a budget together with a written request to their Regional Director, which will then be considered for approval by the OC Board.
-
The maximum amount to be advanced in relation to any event/project is $500.
-
The advance (loan) must be returned to OC within 30 days of the event or completion of the project.
-
