Possible I can attend - will depend on this weather crud going on here in central WA

[BadBird]

Hope everyone can make it. See you there. Larry and Carol

[Jeff W]

I will send the treasury report with Kenny. I have two school functions Wednesday night so my wife and I will need to divide and conquer.

[Gitanesteel]

Tentative right now - got a bunch of freezing rain last night and there's more in the forecast. If it continues I'll have to put it off a month or so until things are hopefully better.

Scott - the next meeting is March 15 and I suspect weather will be a little better by then. Raining cats and dogs here, so everyone coming wear your galoshes.

[Gitanesteel]

Thanks Roger. March looks better. Kind of a mute point now as Snoqualmie Pass is closed for the rest of today and tonight.

[BadBird]

At the meeting we were talking about our memberships and I was not sure when I last paid my Falcon Club of America dues. There may be others that were negligent like me. Well, I feel better now. I am paid up. Larry

I know we don't...

:~:

... as often as we should, but we've been slacking (some of us) keeping current. Even I forgot to for a long time (time flies and all that). Benefits to club members (this forum, tech days, cruises, etc. ) is because we're club with members working towards a goal, which is obviously promoting the survival of the Falcon and all that pertains.

So if you're needing to renew, now's as good a time as any.

Roger, doesn't that just show who has paid their Rainier Falcons membership? I was talking about the FCA dues. Larry

[Luva65wagon]

Oh. Yeah. Not sure we can ever know "today" if your FCA membership is current. We ask for your FCA membership number when you join, but you're probably on the honor system unless we really want to get all FBI on every member. I don't have time to do that. Or the interest. ;)

[MacDee]

I always just responded to the post card the FCA sent to me. Of course, I haven't tracked to be sure I got one every year!

[Luva65wagon]

One year it slipped through some very large crack and I did get a second request.

Here it went on a long while until (at a meeting) someone mentioned how far some of us had lapsed. "Technically" officers of the club are not required to pay dues, but we all do it anyway.

[Gitanesteel]

Besides the FCA membership directory is there a list anywhere of Rainier chapter members? Curious to see where everyone is at - more specifically how many members are in central and eastern Washington.

[Luva65wagon]

Look above in the main menu and click on Community then Paid Members. Some of those unpaid have long-since ago moved away or dissappeared from view. Some of you (take a look) are actually still very present.

[Luva65wagon]

Community > Member List is all of the forum members, but may be one-time or no-time posters. The lurkers of forums, or those who come and then go, is how most forums go.

Go to Community > Paid Members to see if you are paid up on your chapter dues.
