Membership Cards and Fund Raiser Tickets

Monday, 7 January 2008

All of the membership cards and fund raiser tickets for payments received on or before Saturday, 6 January 2008, will be mailed by Tuesday, 8 January 2008.  There are some minor changes in the handling of the fund raiser ticket stubs:

• Rather than send all of your tickets back in an envelope with your membership card, which took a lot of time and sometimes cost more in postage, the ticket numbers of the tickets you purchased are listed on the stub attached to the membership card.
• The stub lists the date the purchase was entered into CRGC's accounting software, the number of tickets purchased on that date, the starting ticket number, and the ending ticket number in that series.
• If you have purchased tickets more than once, then each purchase is listed on a separate line.
• As in previous years, the ticket stubs put in the bin will be pre-printed with your name and telephone number.
• As in previous years, your tickets will be pre-printed with your name, and you can pick them up at the annual meeting if you wish. Either the ticket itself or the summary stub returned with your membership card is sufficient to claim a prize should you win one.
• As in previous years, you do not have to be present to win one of the fund raiser prizes.
• As in previous years, we will have a computer-generated list of fund raiser tickets purchased prior to the annual meeting, with the ticket numbers and purchaser information.

There will be at least one more mailing of membership cards and ticket summary prior to the annual meeting on Saturday, 19 January 2008.  The next mailing will be sometime before Wednesday, 16 January 2008, so that the new cards have time to arrive before the meeting.  There will be one or two additional mailings after the annual meeting for payments received later in January.
