January is upon us and as you all know so are Club dues. Unfortunately, this year the Club will not be able to provide STL Permits as we've done in the past. In the past when you paid for a yearlong membership you would receive a T-shirt, a sticker and a copy of the club permit. As of this year we will not be issued a club permit by the STL department. In order to apply for a club Permit we would need to become an NFP and carry a $1M liability policy to cover all club activities. It's both a blessing and a hinderence some times to not be an NFP and this time it's a hinderence.
That said, Kevin, Phil and I have decided that the club is currently well funded and asking for dues from existing members will reap no benefit for the club at this point. All new memberships will receive a shirt and sticker with their sign-ups. Anyone who is a paid member for 2007 will have no new dues for 2008 and will remain an "official" member through 12-08. These members will not receive a new shirt and sticker but they will still be available for purchase from Phil.
Also, because the club is not a Not For Profit organization we do not have a "Club" bank account and can no longer accept checks that are addressed to the club. Any checks Addressed as such will be returned with a request for either cash funds or a new check addressed to Phil. Our club funds are in a seperate account under his name at his bank.
We are hoping to organize a nice sized club family run and cookout similar to what we did a couple of years ago with food being provided by the club. Being that we don't have "expenses" as a club very often we would like to put some of those funds back into the bellies of those who have given them.
We want to thank everyone for your participation in the club. In the three years that we've been around I have met A LOT of great people and have seen a lot of great places. None of it would have been the same without you.
Thanks again. And heres to a great 08!
