December Meeting
Greetings,
This is the thread I'd like to conduct discussions for the upcomming December 2007 meeting. First, this will be mostly a social meeting, with a little business up front, and be followed by a raffle. Further, we'll be accepting membership to distiguish a person or family as a Chico Reef Club member. The cost is $25/calendar year. As stated earlier: Quote:
Thanks and please tell a freind and bring them to the meeting.

Howdy y'all. Mr. Treasurer, if you read this, I'd like to formally request that we explore the idea of setting up a paypal account for membership. Some of us can't make meetings all the time and/or don't know people that we can send money with. Plus, paypal is very convenient.

I've got a laminator and the sleeves for it if you guys need one. I know kinko's doesn't charge a whole lot but a penny saved is a penny earned!
I second the paypal account idea. It's much easier too for those of us that don't tend to carry cash.. Or bring $25 but just HAVE to have that extra frag ;-) |

Chris,
I posted in a different thread that was hijacked about membership for Dan and I. Our membership is a little different in that we are both officers. So I am going to assume that we will treat this as if we were just two members rather than a family. Let me know what the rules are regarding this situation. Thanks, Melissa

Yes, once we get a Non-Profit Corp set up, maybe a ficticious business name, and a bank account, I think we will be opening up a PayPal account to receive membership fees. I agree it is the wave of future transactions. MARS in Sac did this last year and I think more than a few people participated that way. We may consider including the paypal fee for those who go that route. However, I'm not sure what that amount is and if it's worth it.
So that being said please bring $25 cash or be prepared to make the check out the treasurer. That's a sticky point isn't it. Hmm.

The paypal account is pretty easy to set up regardless if you're a business or not. I think they charge a flat 3% fee for the transaction and it's not enough to really make a dent although I would pay an extra $1 or whatever to use it probably....
I can see why you wouldn't want to accept personal checks, thats a pretty shaky thing. |

I think Melissa and Dan should have to donate kidneys to prove their loyalty to the Chico Reef Club. Or just PM Chris and work something out, 'cause I think he has missed your messages

Ok Ryan,
I will donate my first born. Since he is 21 and living with his fiancee you really shouldn't expect much out of him except sleep. The problem with linking everything to our bank account has to do with the taxes and non-profit status. I could meet you sometime to get your membership fee. That is no big deal. As soon as we can get everything done as a non-profit things will change regarding the monies taken in and bank accounts and stuff like that.

Yeah I hear you Tylt33,
It's sometimes hard to make meetings especially this time of year with holiday events. Luckily its a small town and we are all friendly enough to meet up with you somewhere/someplace other than the meetings to exchange your membership card and fees. Thanks Melissa for offering to do this. If it doesn't work out for you let me know and I can arrange to meet up. Thanks and I hope to have more details about which LFS will provide what discount when our membership card is presented. But right now I'm going to suggest a 10% on at least livestock and maybe more but usually the standard discount does not count towards tanks. More details will follow when I find out.
