Membership update

2020 Membership Update

Membership will be updated on a regular basis - we're off to a good start but need more participation!

As of September 15, 2020: 369 members out of 744 residents or 50% have paid!
(0.49596)

The PayPal/Credit Card online payment is a convenience for many - but sometimes it is difficult to identify who has paid for many reasons:

1. The membership is paid by a parent/grandparent with a different last name.
2. The address is not listed on the PayPal payment.

3. The person who paid may have a PayPal account listed in a different last name (maiden name before getting married, etc.

4. It could be a new family who moved in that we don't know about yet.

5. It could be someone who previously did not want to give their name & was listed as "Neighbor".

At this time, we are trying to find:

A. Kristin Martin, who paid on 2/22/2020. We want to give credit, but don't have a street address or person by that name listed in our directory.

B. Someone with an email, ricki@chorum.com who paid.

If you can help identify these residents, please email Martha Austin (Membership chairman) at mhaustin2001@yahoo.com

We want to give you credit & get your name & address correct!!

We will apply these extra funds to the budget category that they were designated to go to!

Thanks again ... and keep on donating!

Issues??

Several members have commented on issues they would like to see addressed and also donated money for "Other Donations". These comments are passed on to our President, Ellen Elias, and she has been contacting many of these residents to talk about issues.
