You really canʼt screw up PayPal unless you try to change the banking account
info, which you
would not be able to do anyway. Iʼm concerned that the members donʼt know who
to renew with.
There are people that like to mail their checks instead of PayPal, like the one
I got yesterday
for my OLD address. Then thereʼs the problem that they donʼt know who to renew
with at meetings
if they missed the announcement.
Iʼm just wondering why no one bothered to tell me at the last board meeting,
especially
Christine, when she was clearly exacerbated when I was trying to make sure she
understood
everything. That would have been the time to tell me that I needed to make sure
you knew how to
do it as well, but no one said anything!

Dear Susan,
Yikes! Don't do anything rash.
Here is how I recall events:
I'd mumbled something about feeling like I really don't do that much yet on the
Board, and Paul
asked, why don't you be the membership chair. I said, OK. I need to be taught
what to do, such
as how to access the database, etc. I didn't hear anything more. Then right
before the plant
auction, I got an e-mail listing the expired members -- this was cc'd to
Christina. I e-mailed
Erik and asked to get access to the database and he worked that out. And I've
had one guy e-mail
me that he had renewed but hadn't gotten a card yet. I told him via e-mail that
I was still
trying to get the cards, etc. but that he was in the database as paid so
everything appeared
copacetic. I just received the cards at last Tuesday's meeting.
It's all been pretty disorganized.
Christina did not generate this "Why don't you do membership?" thing, Paul did.
And I am not
sure if this was thought out as well as it might. I will be happy to not do
membership or to do
membership, it does not really matter to me. I was just feeling I should do
something concrete
to help out the club. I'm not highly interested in getting PayPal access, since
I have yet to
get PayPal to work for me personally so I suspect I'd have a high risk of
screwing up the club's
finances.
Does this explain anything? So you can understand that none of this should in
any way be taken
personally?
Cordially -- really --

Well, itʼs really redundant to enter info in twice. The membership person is
supposed to have
access to the database, so all you need is the personʼs name if they have been
entered into the
system and Iʼve already done that. It would have been nice if Paul informed me
at the last
meeting who is going to do membership now. I guess I was schooling the wrong
person. You might
as well take over the PayPal system, that way you can check and make sure
address is correct on
the PayPal site vs. Christine repeating all that in an email. Iʼm assuming that
Christine
doesnʼt want to have anything to do with my offer to help out with membership
when she is absent
and would rather work with you which is fine.
I might as well drop off the board altogether.

Dear Susan,
Paul asked me to take on membership chair at the board meeting before last.
What I've worked out
so far with Christina is to have her remain the PayPal czar but for her to send
me an e-mail
with the address, name, date info so I'll update the membership database and
send the person the
membership card. In other words, it's an experiment in off-loading one of the
treasurer's 10,000
chores. I would also take on issuing reminders and that sort of thing. So,
would you send me the
info? Thanks.
Cordially,
Margie C.
