first bring to Christ through this ministry.

Membership FAQs (Frequently-Asked-Questions):
| Q |

events? |

Most events require no membership, however membership is encouraged.
Membership is required for our larger events such as
Yosemite, Shasta, and Yerington require membership. |
| |
|
|
Q |
Where does this money go? |
|
A |
Running the number of events this ministry does is a
complex and costly task. Your donations go towards
expenses such as ministry management, event organization, event
fees and permits, liability insurance, development of
future adventure sports leaders, web hosting,
equipment (first aid, radios, signage, etc...),
promotional expenses, and occasional scholarships to events for
those who can't afford to attend on their own. |
| |
|
| Q |
Do I need a card to get a discount at sponsoring
merchants? |
| A |
Yes you do, your card identifies you as a member of
Bayside Adventure Sports - this protects both BAS and
the merchant from abuse of these generous discounts. |
| |
|
| Q |
Can I loan my card to a friend? |
| A |
No, your card has your name on it and you'll need to
show ID when using it. If your friend would like
his/her own card, have them stop by and get one. |

|
| Q |
Do I need a new card each year? |
| A |

supporting the on-going operating expenses of the
ministry. Your card will be marked with a
