Dear Sunbeam friends,
Your new SAOCA board is working feverishly to create a better club for you. One of the ways we’re going to be doing that is by changing the way we send out gift packets.
The biggest reason we’re doing this is so that those getting a calendar get it in time for the beginning of the year. Currently, someone who renews their membership mid-year gets a calendar that’s as many as eight months old. With the change, when you renew, we’ll send you your window sticker right away. Then at the end of the year, we’ll send your gift packet.
So as of July 1, we’ll no longer be sending out 2016 calendars. Gold and above members will get a 2017 calendar when they are ready in December or so (the timeliness and quality of the calendar depends entirely on photos sent in by members, so keep ‘em coming).
If you’d like a 2016 calendar, we still have a few available and will ship one to you for $10. If you’re interested, send me a private message.
Starting July 1, I’ll begin the process of resetting the “donation time†avatar for those members whose dues aren’t current. It’s not an exact science, so if you think your avatar has been changed in error, send me a private message.
And finally, we’re exploring the possibility of changing up the sponsor levels. For example, many folks have said that they end up throwing away the Platinum and Diamond certificates (yet each costs the club $5 extra to print and ship). So let us know if you have any ideas for ways to add value.
