[AlaskaRC] Dues discussion & election reminder

[Robert Stephens]

Tom:

 

Good news for you!  Mark Bendursky has agreed to run for President.  George and Armand (as you know) are also willing continue in their offices.  Bob Edison is calling Norm about continuing as secretary.  

See you Tuesday.  I have seen a lot of presidents in this club (I was president twice myself), none were better than you, you have done a FANTASTIC job.  You deserve a break!

 

Bob

> Hi everyone,
> 
> I wanted to remind folks that we've been having some good productive
> discussions at the last couple meetings about revising the ARCS dues
> structure. If you have an idea to present, please let me know so I can
> get you on the agenda for the October meeting.
> 
> In a nutshell, our annual costs have gone down somewhat and depending on
> the membership level it may be possible to restructure our annual dues. 
> Some ideas that have been floated so far include possibly exchanging
> work party participation for a dues discount, lowering the dues by a
> fixed percentage, and lowering the dues to something on par with other
> clubs in the vicinity.
> 
> If you are interested in floating an idea for changing how we assess
> club dues, I would ask that you review the treasurer's reports posted in
> the membership area of the web site to get an idea of our current
> expenses and take that information into account.
> 
> While we could as a group vote to amend our dues structure at any time,
> the next two meetings are really the time of the year to make such a
> change.
> 
> That brings me to the next topic, annual officer elections! All ARCS
> officer positions are up for election at the November meeting, and I
> encourage anyone with an interest in becoming an officer to throw your
> hat in the ring. The only requirements are a positive attitude and
> ideas about how ARCS should continue to evolve and grow in service to
> the R/C community! Bob Edison and Bob Stephens have graciously agreed
> to coordinate the officer search so get in touch with either one of them
> if you are interested. Their contact information is in the club
> directory in the members area of the web site.
> 
> By the way, as I mentioned last meeting, officer elections are an annual
> event but normally officers serve a two year term with the president and
> treasurer positions being elected in alternating years to help preserve
> continuity. We've gotten away from that pattern and I want to restore
> it because having someone with experience in either position is very
> helpful to incoming officers. Consequently the upcoming treasurer term
> will be one year only.
> 
> See you at the meeting!
