-i Chapter 5. MORALE, WELFARE, AND RECREATION ACTIVITIES<br />

A. Purpose. This chapter provides specific guidance on the<br />

operation of individual MWR activities and also provides<br />

guidance on application procedures and participation in<br />

inter-Service and international competition.<br />

B. MWR Activities.<br />

1. Ticket Program.<br />

. a. Description: Involves the purchase of tickets for<br />

community and sports events for distribution or<br />

resale to eligible members of the MWR program.<br />

This program also includes such variations as ticket<br />

reimbursement where a member presents proof of<br />

attendance and the <strong>morale</strong> funds pay for all or a<br />

percentage of the ticket.<br />

C. User Fees: Resale price of the tickets depends on<br />

the status of the unit <strong>morale</strong> fund. Input from the<br />

unit <strong>morale</strong> committee will usually determine the<br />

method of resale or distribution. Normally, tickets<br />

are sold at cost, subsidized by the <strong>morale</strong> fund, or<br />

given away through a random drawing.<br />

2. Automotive Hobby Shop.<br />

a. Description: An MWR facility with specified<br />

automotive work areas, equipment, and tools for minor<br />

automotive repairs, and/or an inventory of resale<br />

items for routine automotive servicing.<br />

b. Funding: Equipment and tools used in the hobby shop<br />

should be purchased with appropriated funds (if<br />

purchased with non-appropriated funds, it must be<br />

accounted for as part of <strong>morale</strong> fund property). All<br />

resale merchandise must be purchased with non-<br />

appropriated funds.<br />

c. User Fees: A combination of space rental, tool<br />

rental, and resale mark-up should be employed to<br />

offset the costs of supervision and minor operating<br />

costs (cleaning supplies, etc.).<br />

d. Supervision: This is a directed activity with<br />

considerable capital tied up in equipment and tools.<br />

A supervisor must be employed to supervise activity,<br />

collect fees, and maintain control over equipment and<br />

tools. Supervisor salary must be paid from non-<br />

appropriated funds.<br />
