Dear Tennis Friends,
Thank you to those who have sent in your memberships! The two piles I have gone through were a breeze having everything together. Now for a little more heat and less breeze outdoors.
A note to those who have requested electronic registration and payment: The Board considered this option and decided to stick with the paper method, at least for now. The platforms that accept payment generally require a real person to set it up, not a “role” such as [email protected], i.e. the service is tied to a person in the organization. That person will get a 1099. (Changing that person is a pain in the arss, been there, done that.) I helped one sports organization become an official non-profit 501c7, and that cost $600 to the feds at the time. So, unless someone wants to explore options further, we are not making this kind of a change in the near future.
A reminder, the Club has substantial expenses early in the season. Please take a moment, if you haven’t already, to print your membership form, fill it out, write a check, put both in an envelope and mail to the address at the top of the form. Thank you for your assistance in streamlining our accounting. We’ll be sending out to past members and people who have inquired shortly. And a reminder to carry that pesky cash or check with you when you invite guests. We are still on the $15-in-the-envelope guest payment process.
No change to target opening day. There have been supply chain issues in tennis court material as well, so cross our fingers.
A separate email will go out about workday next Saturday May 7.
Thanks,
Darlene
