Day-of Payments for Walk-in Exams
Important Payment Update for Walk-In Health Clinic Exams During Show Weekends
To ensure the best possible experience and efficiency at our health clinic during the show weekend, COKC is implementing a change to our payment policy.
Effective immediately, we will no longer be able to accept personal checks for walk-in health clinic exams. This decision was made following a series of returned checks, which has impacted our ability to process payments smoothly.
We will continue to accept cash and credit/debit cards through our website for walk-in appointments during the show weekend Please reach out to the Health Clinic Committee Chair with any questions at COKCHealthClinic@gmail.com
A Note on Clinic Etiquette
Our club members and clinic coordinators are all volunteers who work hard to provide this service. We expect everyone to treat our volunteers and fellow exhibitors with respect. We will not tolerate rudeness or foul language. This behavior will result in the Show Chair being involved. Let’s work together to make it a great experience for everyone!
