If needed, let participants pay in installments. For example:
1st Installment - 4 months before the event
2nd Installment - 3 months before the event
3rd Installment - 2 months before the event
Advantages
Those experiencing financial challenges may be able to join.
Disadvantages
You may experience challenges in monitoring and following up payments.
You may need to ask for cash advance from the Area for the down payment of the venue and/or food.
For cheque payment, advise the participant to make the cheque payable to Couples For Christ.
For e-transfer, advise the participant to e-transfer to the correct account
For GVA North, use cibc.gvnorth@couplesforchrist.ca
For GVA South, use cibc.gvsouth@couplesforchrist.ca
The Service Team Lead informs the CFC Mission Center when the participants will start paying by e-transfer for the event.
Example: The MER1 is on October 1-3. Expect e-transfers from the participants from August 1 to September 30.
Important for the e-transfer: Add a note for your Area, Chapter, and event name (or purpose of the e-transfer). This is to keep track of your payment. Here are some examples:
