TRIP DEPOSITS
----DEPOSITS FOR ALL 2008 TRIPS MUST BE RECEIVED BY MARCH 1, 2008----
All veterinary student volunteers are required to submit a
non-refundable $200 deposit for each trip they will be
participating in. Students participating in two consecutive
week trips are only required to submit one deposit ($200) for both trips.
Non-consecutive trips will require separate deposits.
This deposit is mandatory and is to prevent students from signing up for
trips in which they are not serious about participating and to help defray
some of the expense of our student teaching programs. Deposit funds will
help cover some of the equipment and supply costs incurred for student volunteers.
This deposit does not apply to veterinarians, veterinary technicians/assistants
or non-veterinary volunteers.
Please do not send a deposit until
you have received an email confirming your acceptance on the trip.
Once your acceptance has been confirmed, send $200.00 deposit (payable to Rural Area Veterinary Services) to the following address. Please make note on the check for which trip the deposit is intended.
RAVS Trip Deposit
c/o Eric Davis, DVM
125 Old Stage Road
Salinas, CA 93908
Please DO NOT send your deposit via registered mail or other services
that require a signature as there is not usually anyone available to sign
for these.
Once your deposit has been received, you will receive a confirmation notice
by email. If you do not receive an email acknowledgement within 3 weeks
of submitting your deposit, contact us via email (staff@ravsmail.org).
After March 1, any students for whom deposits have not been received will be removed from all trip rosters and their positions given to waitlisted volunteers. If you have decided not to participate, please contact us before this date so that we can arrange adequate staffing.

trip combinations requiring a single deposit:
