Membership report



Hi, folks:

Since just before Christmas (Dec. 15 - Jan. 15), we have recieved:

23 New Membership applications
73 Renewals

One new member is from Indonesia, one is from England, 2 are from
Canada, and 19
are from the United States

One membership was given as a Christmas gift!

7 of the new memberships were multi-year, and 26 of the renewals were
for
multi-year.  This warms my heart since
it indicates satisfaction and confidence in the club, and it also means
fewer
renewal notices for me to send out and process!

Very few of the members indicated their willingness to volunteer.  Of
those that
did, two stand out:  someone from Seachem is willing to write articles,
and another
person claims to be fluent in Japanese.  To whom should I direct these
people?

Regarding volunteers, I have been recording this information in our
membership
database (along with email addresses, phone numbers, etc.).  Do we have
a volunteer
coordinator yet?  I would be pleased to forward this information to
them.  It would
be a lot easier for me to simply email the entire database, so that I
don't have to
go to the trouble of editing it to make it print properly.  It is in
Microsoft
Excel 98 format.

That's great news about incorporation.  Is Massachusetts the right place
to do it?
Seems that Mass. has twice as many regulations (and lawsuits) as
anywhere else that
I have lived.  Would there be any advantage to doing it in, say, New
Hampshire or
Delaware?
