    There has been a lot of talk about the wholesale order as the time get's near. This club has progressed so much in the last two year's. As with all clubs, it has to make money in order to support itself. I feel that a small surcharge on the wholesale order would be a good idea. This surcharge would EXCLUDE the BOD member's.
    I feel that the member's of our BOD work really hard to make this club a success. This is the reason for the exclusion of BOD member's on the surcharge. (I will not be an officer next year, I did NOT consider this for my benefit). This is just a little way to say "thank you" to the BOD member's for their hard work. Also it's BOD member's that go get the order, unpack it, fill the order's, etc.

    As for the amount on the surcharge I would like to know what you think about it.

    Also if you think it's a good idea. Maybe $5 on every order, or $5 per $100 that they spend.

    Please all BOD member's reply.
    Thank you
    Marti
     
  2. I think that this is a good idea for several reasons. One we allow full sponsorship advertisement to Kevin (Paradise Pets) due to his payment for RRMAS membership to MASNA (50.00) with the difference made up with his generous offer of the Reef Splash wholesale order. We need to make up the difference 75.00 in some fashion - this would be a good way of doing that. I do not feel that it is appropriate to ask Kevin to increase his monetary sponsorship of the club to 125.00 when he affords us an unlimited wholesale order that is worth a lot more to members than the 75.00 that we would gain by requesting an equal monetary sponsorship as our other sponsors. I feel that inorder to make up this difference that a 5 dollar fee per 100 spent is a small price to pay for the privelage of the wholesale order.

    By excluding BOD members from the surcharge you create a privelage for being a board member. A small perk for the work that we do throughout the year.

    I think this is a great idea rather than limiting the wholesale order in any way.

    I don't think the BOD should be exempt from the surcharge if implemented. The BOD should not receive perks that non-BOD members don't. We are unpaid volunteers and know this up-front and should not expect to be treated differently than the membership as a whole.

    I was thinking the same thing.

    After talking with Chris last night I think the surcharge would be a benifit to the club. I am also against the BOD exemption.
