OK, so which address should be on that page then? That's the primary source for non-pay membership renewals!

That is my old address. Anything mailed has to be forwarded to me at my new

Guys, when the smoke clears, let me know what the address should be to mail membership forms to, and I will update the website accordingly. Right now it is listed as:

Susan Welenofsky
13510 Northcreek Drive, # E405
Mill Creek, WA 98012

in this file: http://www.gsas.org/member.html

- Erik

Likewise, I'd be happy to do a runthrough of the database functions at a board meeting.

There are people that like to mail their checks instead of PayPal, like
the one I got yesterday

for my OLD address. Then there?s the problem that they don?t know who to
renew with at meetings

if they missed the announcement.

I?m 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 --

Margie C.

Well, it?s really redundant to enter info in twice. The membership person

access to the database, so all you need is the person?s name if they have
been entered into the

system and I?ve 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. I?m assuming
that Christine

doesn?t 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.
