    Germania has 193 active members, which include people who have renewed and people who have joined in the past year who are not due for renewal until a future date or who have renewed.  (includes 8 free memberships)

    Potential members in Wild Apricot ad continued renewal drive:

    There are 212 entries in WA who have not renewed.  All of these have been members in the past at some point, but many have not paid in several years, due to differences in how records were kept.

    Follow-Up:  

    These contacts are continuing to renew at a steady rate.  (33 in the past 2 weeks) We are continuing to reach out.

    Removing old contacts:

    At this time, the plan to move contacts who have not renewed by March 31, 2021 to the archive and discontinue contacting them to renew their membership.  Archived contacts can be pulled back into active statue, and do not count against our current 500 contact limit.

    How can you help:

    If you are a WA administrator, please go to “contacts” and “saved searches” and select “lapsed”.  (you can also run a simple search with “lapsed” as keywork if you are familiar.   Please contact anyone on that list that you would like to encourage to renew.  If you do not use WA, let Lara know and she will send you a current list with the info you want (email, phone, etc.)

    ACTION ITEMS:

    Motion to approve:  New applicants:  Ryan Cronk, T.J. Duda, James Goodall, and Frank Resch.
