Giving Back Makes It All Worth It

 

 

At CAVC we’re proud of our member’s work effort, their commitment to success and to our organization but what we’re most proud of is their giving hearts. Every year a Golf Tournament is held to raise money for the CAVC Scholarship Foundation. Take a look below to see some of our favorite member’s playing hard for a great cause.

Sponsors

 

Throwback to another great outreach hosted by CAVC last December.  At the Dec ’15 CAVC holiday party, we collected donations for the Florence Crittenton house (helps runways, abused babies and children, pregnant teens, etc).  CAVC did an awesome job with donations!

Thank you to all of our members and sponsors who help make our industry a success and who volunteer their time to help the communities around them.

Legislative Day 2016 – Success!

CAVC had another successful Legislative Day May 18th in Sacramento. A group of about 20 people met with over 30 State Senators and Assemble Members to educate them on 3 main points:

1. The Vending Machine Taxes issues where vend operators face a disparity in the law as a result of being left out of the waiver on snack purchase taxes many years ago.

2. CAVC’s opposition to SB 878, a pending bill that would put in place a 21-day “work schedule” to be given to all employees.

3. The burden Prop 65 stickering emergency regulation is putting on Vendors.

In addition, we had a cocktail meeting with Assembly Member Mike Gatto (D-Glendale) and dinner with Diane Harkey, Vice Chair Board of Equalization. Both legislators will work in support of CAVC issues in the future.
