Meeting

UPNOVER — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 00:37:58 GMT

Can we get a definite yes or no for everyone that plans to make the meeting on Saturday?

I guess we should set a cut off time for votes so the counting can be done before we have to leave.

If we have the hall from 5 to 8pm, is 7pm a good cut off time?

I will reply and then just keep "quote" ing and adding your name.

UPNOVER — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 00:11:29 GMT

I would like to start a new post and state that the general consensus so far is to elect a Board of Directors and have Tico be the CEO. CEO would only have a swing vote in terms of a tie. The control of this current forum would be given to the 2009 board of directors once the board is in place and administrative and moderators where chosen. Members will be nominated and then a date will be set for a formal election. Election will be held at a formal hall and times will be set for election ...

When does the year end financial report come out?

CamoK5 — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 13:58:10 GMT

When does the year end financial report come out? Also I see that dues have increased to $47.50, which equates to $3610 in dues per year. We take in Fund raisers, raffles, shirt sales ECT. I know we pay the UFWDA, but if I understand correctly that is only a $100 as a club. We also put out $$ for the web pages. Typically clubs I have belonged to in the past post a quarterly report. I think if the membership knows were the money is going it may help reduce the animosity and discontent. Another ...

OTHERWISE RE-ENROLLMENT WILL BE FULL MEMBERSHIP PRICE " . If this is true where is the link for a discount, the Meetup site shows $47.50 .
