FIELD TRIPS!!! General Information:
FIELD TRIPS!!! is a non-profit organization for home education families. There are no membership fees required to join FIELD TRIPS!!! To cover our quarterly website maintenance fees, domain name, internet connection, EduFairs!, Pam's Gasoline for FIELD TRIPS!!! functions, and annual organizational fees to the state of Missouri, a surcharge of 50c to $1 is added to all prepays. This policy began when FIELD TRIPS!!! was formed to prevent Pam to pay out-of-pocket. Pam does not receive any salary, nor does anybody else, strictly service from the heart.
Prepays are no refunds and no-shows are considered donations. Carefully read your Confirmation email regarding any prepaid FIELD TRIPS!!! This Confirmation email will state meeting instructions. If you do not check-in with Pamela at the designated time/place, your prepays are considered donations and will be freely distributed to families who show up space-available. I'm firm about check-in times, as my son says, "Movies don't wait!" We want to ensure that all spaces are used. If you don't get a Confirmation email, CALL ME before 7am on the FIELD TRIP!!! day at 417-595-7153.
