Standing Reports

Treasurer's report (Brian, Kacoroski)

Membership report (VanDevender)

  • Total active members: 663 (previous report: 668, change: -5)
  • Paying: 401 (5 new in last 30 days)
  • Non-paying: 262 (11 new in last 30 days)

Paying members include Individual, Charter, Founding, and Lifetime memberships. Non-paying members include Student and Complimentary memberships.

Brian gave me a spreadsheet of Paypal recurring payments for the previous year. I am still working on checking this against existing memberships. There are about 25 in the list, not counting two recent cases that have already been handled. I'm proposing that we contact these people and offer to extend their memberships a year, possibly from the current date instead of their original expiration date. There are three recurring payments of $35 instead of $50, maybe offer them 8-9 months instead of a year? We should also suggest they cancel the recurring payments, pending any effort we make to fix integration of Paypal recurring payments with renewals.

LOPSA East 2017 (Boris)

The Administration at Montclair is taking a long time to develop the Agreement document. I don't want to hold any meetings until I am sure we have the building. I will be sending out a request for committee members and a preliminary CFP as a feeler. As it is going to be a one day event I think we have time.
