YEAR ROUND EVENT WALK BOXES    Start everyone off on the right foot by taking the time to ensure that your Event Walk Boxes are fully stocked with updated maps, brochures and supplies.  You will no doubt leave a lasting impression of what a great organization we are.  Remember, of course, to replace the 2011 event stamp slug with a new 2012 slug.




E-POSTCARDS - Clubs that have been notified by the IRS that their Tax Exempt Status has or is in danger of being automatically been revoked have until December 31, 2011, to file for a Reinstatement of Tax Exemption with the IRS with a reduced filing fee. See IRS Newsletter at the "reinstatement" icon to the AVA December Checkpoint for further information.


CLUB INVENTORY ITEMS  -  Remember to remove outdated materials from your Club inventory of New Walker Packets or anything else that you have on hand for participants to purchase or look through.  Replace the old Starting Point order form with the new 2012 order form.  Remember to remove any mention of the old 1-800 number, old AVA logos and tag lines, also remember that Brazos Walking Sticks is no longer a sponsor. Update any information about the new Event and Distance Rules for stamping IVV Books.


GIFT GIVING Consider giving Holiday gifts of AVA merchandise from the AVA Web Site Merchandise Store at your AVA events, to an AVA volunteer, or to family and friends. Don’t forget to refresh web pages 2, 3, or 4 if you happen to receive an error message.
