Membership Renewal Change

A note from the GOBS Membership Chair:

Happy Holidays to all of our great GOBS members!  I wanted to take a moment to let you know of some changes in the coming year for how we do the GOBS membership.  Effective in 2012 GOBS will send membership renewal notices out once per year instead of each month.  Renewal notices will be mailed by February 1, 2012 for all members and will continue to be done annually until further notice.  For members that have renewed less than a year ago, your membership rate for 2012 will be pro-rated.

Here is an example of how this will work:  if you renewed in June 2011 you will have only used 8 months of your current membership.  Based on this GOBS will apply your remaining 4 months of 2011 membership toward renewal and you will only be billed for 8 months in 2012.  In this example your 2012 dues will equal $20 instead of the usual $30.  We are making this change in order to stream-line the process and make it easier to account for all of our members early in the year before the start of the competition season.  Take care everyone and if you have any questions about this change please send them to me at darlinbran@hotmail.com.  Thanks and good eating!

Sincerely,

Darrin Branson

GOBS Board Member and Membership Chair.
