C.A.M. CHARTERED CLUBS RULES & REGULATIONS

 

Section 4.13  Resale Activities/Sales Policy

 

The individual or private sale of merchandise in Association Facilities is strictly forbidden unless sponsored or sanctioned by the Association.  Any applicable tax liability incurred shall be the re4sponsibility of the individual concerned.

 

A. General

 

The Arts & Crafts facilities are intended for the pursuit of hobbies and are not for the manufacture of articles to be sold by private individuals for private gain.  As a convenience to members and guests the charter clubs may offer articles for sale made by their membership provided that the club and Association receive a percentage of the proceeds in order to offset the costs of this activity (a minimum of ten percent).  Fifty percent of these proceeds are to be submitted to the Association on a monthly basis.  The intent of a club is to promote hobby, recreational and cultural activities and not to be a sales outlet for items produced in the club facilities.  Clubs must establish internal policies to allow each member an equitable opportunity to sell their products.

 

Commission fees are submitted to the club when items are sold.
