You really canât screw up PayPal unless you try to change the banking
account info, which you
would not be able to do anyway. Iâm concerned that the members donât
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 thereâs the problem that they donât know who to
renew with at meetings
if they missed the announcement.
Â
Iâm 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,
Â
Yikes! Don't do anything rash.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
Does this explain anything? So you can understand that none of this should
in any way be taken
personally?
Â
Cordially -- really --

Well, itâs really redundant to enter info in twice. The membership person
is supposed to have
access to the database, so all you need is the personâs name if they have
been entered into the
system and Iâve 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. Iâm assuming
that Christine
doesnât 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.
Â
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.
