Hello again, I have a couple questions for dues-paying members: 1) How have you paid dues in the past? (Cash, check, other? I don't even know what the options are yet at this moment.) 2) How would you like to pay dues? I'd love to see an easy, online option for donations up on our website (maybe this exists, but a quick glance at the website does not reveal anything, and assuming your average sudoer or outsider isn't going to search for it) but as I understand it, people may have some thoughts on what that option would look like, leading me to ask question 3: 3) What are you constraints on option 2? Would you prefer using non-profit / cooperative / what have you funding options - or the lack thereof, and thus check and cash - over for profit funding options? 4) Comments on various means of communication about dues, what's worked, what hasn't, what you'd like to see. This is a non-committal, information gathering exercise. Looking forward to h^3, Tommy ----------------- Thomas Riley York (杨德民) 510.926.0510 http://www.linkedin.com/in/tommyyork _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss

WePay, didn't even see that. Thank you. ----------------- Thomas Riley York (杨德民) 510.926.0510 http://www.linkedin.com/in/tommyyork On Fri, Feb 22, 2013 at 5:20 PM, Jenny Ryan <tunabananas(a)gmail.com> wrote:

I don't like the fees associated with WePay. I also don't have checks, but I can send a "check" from my Credit Union to the sudo room address. This has worked fine a couple of times. Anthony expressed a preference for this type of payment; not sure why, but given the other options, it's also my preference.

I really like the fundraising target and amount raised component of WePay, pretty sweet. Also, can I solicit feedback on a proposal to tweak the primary website to add a membership tab describing, at the very least, how one becomes a member, even if it's "come to our wednesday meeting and ask us about it." ----------------- Thomas Riley York (杨德民) 510.926.0510 http://www.linkedin.com/in/tommyyork On Fri, Feb 22, 2013 at 5:29 PM, Tommy York <tommy.york(a)gmail.com> wrote: WePay, didn't even see that.

My preference was because the paper trail built-in to paying with a check made auditing more possible than otherwise, and made the bank account a central point for records. Paying with recurring bill pay has the same benefits but is more automatic. Cash is quite the opposite. Wepay, the way we have it set up now, is somewhere in between, since Jenny aggregates the money and forwards it in a way that is by default opaque. All these options are as they are partly because we are an unincorporated association with no tax info right now.
