Anyone had OKCGC cash their membership dues?
It's been a month and my check hasn't been cashed yet.

What's it entail? I like cashing checks!brandt9913 said:New membership chairman. Bill Norfleet stepped down. Be patient. It's a thanksless job that no one wants.
Ok. Jesse is in charge. Mail out 2200 invoices and keep track of 1000 work days. And don't **** up. People get pissy when you lose their checks.Jesse Tischauser said:What's it entail? I like cashing checks!
Yikes! Sounds like the club needs an online billing option with automatic withdrawals and such.brandt9913 said:Ok. Jesse is in charge. Mail out 2200 invoices and keep track of 1000 work days. And don't **** up. People get pissy when you lose their checks.
I'm only kidding. But it is definitely not a job i would ever want.
That has been discussed and explored. If you come up with one, please let me know. The one very large problem with that is how to handle the workday credit. They have not been able to find a way to deal with the workday credit using a 3rd party system. Many on the board of directors do not want to see the workday credit go away. It would mean even fewer people helping with range maintenance if there is no incentive to help out. I have looked at a couple different 3rd party companies, but come back to the same problem every time.Jesse Tischauser said:Yikes!

I hate to chime in because responses can be mistaken as volunteering (I'm not) but since Pinto already opened the door, I will.mike_pinto said:It's 2016 and we still have to waste club money by sending out printed off invoices via USPS and are expected to send a check back via USPS? Many efficiencies can be gained by a post 1974 way of doing the billing. How about this idea. You don't do a workday, you don't get to renew your membership..
Are the work days needed or is it just a way of giving cheap SOBs discounts? Seems like all of the parts of the club I use never ask for work day volunteers while other sections email me regularly askin for help. If cheap labor is needed to keep the club going then I'm all for work day = renewal. If it's jet to get a discount then I'm all for paying more so I don't need to work cause I'm lazy.mike_pinto said:It's 2016 and we still have to waste club money by sending out printed off invoices via USPS and are expected to send a check back via USPS?

We use www.yourmembership.com It works well for any member based organization. It isn't cheap and it might do way more than OKCGC needs. I use it for my website, membership list, calendar, online credit card processing, forum and newsletters. It is kind of a one-stop-shop for associations.brandt9913 said:What software does your Surveyor group use? The problem with a promo code is that once someone gets it, it will quickly spread to many others that never did a workday.
