<CORSA Chapters> Dues enforcement

[Jerry Brown]

        Hi Greg.  I think you pretty well hit the nail on the head about people paying their dues.   We have had some go as long as 2 years not paying yet show up. One kept saying he keeps forgetting his check book then later paid cash.  He does all our printing for us for free so we don't badger him.  He also helps out at our MB Corvair show.    Like you said, be glad for showing up and helping out.  I make sure all have a good time and discourage back biting.  
  Hope to see you at Myrtle Beach Warm Up.

of the Christmas dinner for dues paying members, picking up the tab for
lunches, etc for dues paying members. None of the ideas seemed to work.
Then we hosted the (internationals and @ the time I didn't care if you had
paid your dues in full up to date, never paid one cent in dues ever, or if
you didn't even know what a corvair was- I swore them in anyway because we
needed manpower!!!!---GUYS DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP OVER IT, YOUR NOT GOING TO
WIN--some will pay their dues and others won't---just take the ones that do,
put their name in a hat at end of year and the winner gets a year
subscription to corsa.. we have had people pay dues to our club religiously
for years and no one has ever seen them and we have people who come every
time that has never paid dues. Just be thankful people show up, help out and
have fun, that's what it is all about anyway---take care---greg scarboro

Subject: Dues enforcement

I have a question for the group that has to do with the collection of annual
club dues. What sort of "enforcement" do others use for "members" that don't
pay their dues?

We, in theory cut off their newsletter. This is somewhat a symbolic gesture
since our newsletters are available on line. I guess we have a few members
that show up at most of our meetings and events but have not paid their dues
for more than a year. Their lack of payment is not due to any hardship,
based on what money they are spending on their cars. Anyhow, I'd be very
interested to hear if other clubs have had this problem and how others have
handled it.

Thanks,
Ned
