dues
In Port St. Lucie, FL, the dues are $20/single, $25/couple or family. We
have 160 members all told. The dues are a bargain, IMO. We just raised them this year, with a unanimous "aye" vote by the membership. Diana wrote in message oups.com... just a general survey type question--those of you in local (or other) societies, what do you pay in dues? thx... --j_a |

dues
When we formed the Adirondack Orchid Society 2+ years ago, we talked about dues but never did get around to doing anything about it. We pay no dues. Of course, as always, "you get what you pay for". wrote: just a general survey type question--those of you in local (or other) societies, what do you pay in dues? thx... --j_a |

Steve, in that case, how do you pay for whatever you need as a group? Maybe
the better question is how many of you are there? If it's a relatively small number, then I can understand no dues. Another question: how's your weather now? I know you got a lot of rough stuff late in the season. Any sign of spring? Diana "Steve" wrote in message ...

dues
There are about 15 of us but a few rarely come. At our meetings we have has as few as 4 members show up and as many as 12. The biggest number in the last 6 months was about 9. You didn't really expect a big club did you? :-) There aren't very many people living around here and, of course, orchid growers are extremely rare. I was quite surprised that we got as many members as we did. Sure signs of spring: The last of the snow finally melted from my yard last Friday afternoon. (Snow can still be seen in some areas along the road and/or in the woods.) The crocus out on the yard are in full bloom and the daffodils, near the house, are blooming. The tulips and the daffodils out in the yard still have a ways to go. The lawn is becoming green again. Steve Diana Kulaga wrote: Steve, in that case, how do you pay for whatever you need as a group?

dues
We still have some members who can't get the NL electronically, either
because they have dial up connections or no computer at all. There is a very small group who have the connection but just can't *get* the computer thing. Anyway, those we snail mail. The rest are all sent a link when the issue is posted. It's a benefit to get the NL on line. Most months (this month was the rare exception), the on line version is substantially longer than the snail version. I keep the snail to four pages unless there is a compelling reason for an insert.

If you show at the annual (corporation meeting/election) each member gets to take home a plant purchased by the society. Newsletter still mailed, we can not get a few to agree to a posted or emailed news. Fund raising spring show/sale brings in less each year. One of the founding members left money for a speakers fund.

The Daytona Beach society dues are $15 for a single and $20 for the spouse
and/or any youngsters in the family. None currently. We have had teenagers in the past who were genuinly interested and active. One actually 'grew up' and is now one of our commercial growers. Remove the NOT from my address to respond...
