racefan Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I've seen reference to a $20.00 per year membershp.How do I do this? It's worth $20.00 for the help I get here. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAD Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I just sent in my 30.00 yesterday. If I get nothing more then this forum of helpful people who are willing to share info, trade or sell some of there corals at a reasonable price. It will pay ten fold for me. Worth has more value then dollars to me. But if its dollars your after I understand you get 10% off at some of the shops when you get your card for paying your dues.

dsoz Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I don't have paypal (too dangerous for me to have that easy of access to money on-line). I usually just pay my dues at one of the meetings. I email Brandy ahead of time to make sure that she will be there, then just pay cash. She has a receipt book if you are worried about the money getting lost. I agree, for what I get it is well worth it. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikep503 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I also should pay up to help out. What is the money used for? I just like to know before I randomly send out hard earned cash. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks' date=' Mike[/quote'] In the past it was used to buy the projector and screen for presentations, help make up the difference in 'field trip' over runs-(like going to the OCA), and to pay for speakers to come in and talk.

dsoz Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 It is also used for the tanks for teachers program. So far at least two classes have SW tanks in them thanks to this club. Several more are in the works. I think that it also buys snacks/food for the club gatherings and summer BBQ. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180Bob Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 The money is also used to keep this site up and online. Also if you joint you will get a say in where the club spends its funds and what the club does in the future, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180Brandy Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 If you plan on going to the Oregon Coast Aquarium next month you can pay me then. Or pm me if you would like to pay sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriswaters Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 In these times, spending any extra money is tough for a lot of us! The membership dues that we collect help our club out tremendously. Last year, the club funds purchased the food to feed more than 50 people at our annual BBQ. It also help offset the costs of last years Christmas Party. It will help offset the costs to our upcoming vist to Both the Hatfield Center and the OCA as our Club donated $50 dollars to Hatfield each year. To date, it has helped the TFT's program get up and running! We have purchased one brand new Nano and are in the process of purchasing another. As others mentioned, it helps pay for speakers...like Bob Fenner last June and Randy Reed last October. So, trust me when I say, your hard earned $20 dollars will definately to some good! Plus help get you a discount to nearly all of our sponsors! Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdadof2 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 This club (the people) has been a savior for me a number of times - the money spent on membership is well worth it. I enjoy having a vote on club topics and the discount at numerous shops pays for the membership in no time at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikep503 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Thanks for all the info guys..... Payment sent! (rock2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 At least there is a point for this membership. Good reasoning equals paying members. You know that the money you pay for a PNW membership goes to things like keeping the site running, hosting events, and other things that I don't know. But at least knowing where some of it goes makes it worth while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
