What if I don’t have an email account?
Free email accounts are available at many locations online, including Gmail at
https://www.google.com/. It is necessary to have an email linked to your account because that is the only communication vehicle used by the club. The club sends information to the members about events, club activities and other general information by email.
I like the picture used in last year’s membership directory; how can I use the same picture again for the current year directory?
The membership directory is no longer in a print format – it is only available online for current members. Profile pictures may be uploaded to your member profile by logging in and updating your picture. You may update your profile picture as often as you like.
Can I provide a picture as a new member or replace last year’s picture with a new one?
Yes, pictures may be uploaded to your member profile as often as you like. You can upload photos taken with your phone once you are logged into your member portal.
If I sign up for an Island Adventure and cannot go, do I receive a refund?
There is no refund. You are responsible for finding a replacement for your ticket on the adventure. The best way is to advertise on INC Facebook Group or ask around to other INC members. Refunds will only be issued if the event is cancelled by the club.
I wanted to go on an Island adventure and it sold out before I could sign up.
Don’t worry! Island Adventures plans duplicates of the same Adventures during the year. Also, remember, that you can be a member for 4 years and the adventures will be available again the next year.
How is the cost of the Island Adventure determined?
The price that is charged to a member for the adventure is what INC is charged plus the taxes and tips. Also, included in the price is a $2.00 charge for the credit card processing fee.
I have out of town company and want to take them along on the Adventure. Is this allowed?
Guest(s) of members are welcome as long as there is space available following the sign-up of all member who wish to participate. Members may not bring the same guest(s) to more than two events in a Club year.
