If your club is hoping to bring food to the event, the club can only bring catering. No potlucks/homemade food that is meant to be shared is allowed.

If your club wants to order food, the recommended choice is Pacific Dining as all they require is your club’s FOAP number, and no reimbursement process is needed. Pacific Dining prepares the food for the 17³Ô¹Ï Dining Hall, and all catering services include setup and cleanup. 

No alcohol/illicit substances are allowed during any club events. The advisor or an appointed faculty member must be on-site at the event during its duration.

For events that involve guest speakers, the club must work with the Student Activities Coordinator Victoria Strelnikova (strelnikovavictoria@fhda.edu) in order to procure a guest speaker contract (an ICA) to compensate them for their time. This needs to be done at least a month in advance before the planned event. If the guest speaker is doing the event for no fee, this is not needed.

Fundraisers have a strict timeline and set of guidelines that must be followed. Failure to follow these guidelines may lead to your club being placed on probation or completely shut down. Because of this, it is required for clubs wishing to create a fundraiser to work intimately with the Vice-President of ICC, Student Activities Coordinator, and the Student Accounts Manager during both the planning and the execution of the fundraiser.

Clubs that wish to hold day trips and field trips must fill out both a Student Field Trip form for the club and individual liability forms for the attendants. Students may arrange their own transportation to the trip site, or may pay to charter additional transportation services.

When planning to go to a conference or an outside event that is longer than a day trip, clubs may request more funding from the ASFC Finance Board and their fund request. More information can be found by meeting with the ASFC Vice President of Finance or the Student Accounts Manager.
