So far, I believe we have only received payment from two or three members, especially if you were planning to attend our state convention this month in less than two weeks, you must pay your dues as soon as possible so that I can report that you are a member in good standing And thus have the privilege of participating in our state convention and the right to vote or run for office. Please pay five dollars via PayPal to SJNFB if you would like to continue your membership in our chapter for another year. We would certainly love to have you! Thank you so much, Jamie Crane From buhrow at nfbcal.org Tue Mar 4 14:58:55 2025 From: buhrow at nfbcal.org (Brian Buhrow) Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2025 14:58:55 -0800 Subject: [Nfbc-sj] DUES ARE DUE In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <202503042258.524MwtPn023958@nfbcal.org> hello Jamie. There is a lifetime membership option available. My understanding is that the chapters need to vote on what the lifetime membership would be for a given chapter. At the board meeting, Tim suggested 10 years of dues, for example. Have we had a discussion at our meetings talking abut what we want our lifetime membership dues to be? In the absence of any previous numbers, I'll start with a proposal of $50/person for lifetime membership. Any discussion? -thanks -Brian From blackbyrdfly at gmail.com Tue Mar 4 15:01:50 2025 From: blackbyrdfly at gmail.com (Jamie Crane) Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2025 15:01:50 -0800 Subject: [Nfbc-sj] DUES ARE DUE In-Reply-To: <202503042258.524MwtPn023958@nfbcal.org> References: <202503042258.524MwtPn023958@nfbcal.org> Message-ID: Hi Brian, We discussed this at our previous meeting, and determined that deciding on a lifetime membership option for our chapter would require a change to our chapters constitution. This was not something that we could decide at the chapter meeting because it is a significant enough change That we need more than just two members and two board members present to discuss it. It is something that we?ve decided to table until a future chapter meeting, so if we do decide to have a lifetime membership option, it will not be available for the current year. At least certainly not before the convention. Best, Jamie On Tue, Mar 4, 2025 at 2:59?PM Brian Buhrow wrote: > hello Jamie. There is a lifetime membership option available.
