Finally!
As I’m sure many of you knew, FCYB had a $10 membership fee in place for a few months. We created the fee as a method to ensure steady income into the organization. As it turns out, though, that stream of income wasn’t so steady as we were hoping.
A few members fell dramatically behind on their payments, some as far behind as 4 months. Further, I don’t think any member ever paid on time (dues were technically due on the third of each month).
My parents always thought membership dues were a good idea. They felt that if people were paying to be a part of an organization, they’d do more to support it since they are actually paying to be a part of it. Clearly they don’t know teenagers very well, because the exact opposite is true. If they pay to be a part of it, they expect to do *nothing* in return. Not saying our volunteers are lazy or anything. They work very hard. 😉
Anyways, point being – the membership dues were just a hassle to maintain in the books and a hassle to get collected and deposited, and it never turned out well for anyone. So from hereon out, for as long as we possibly can, membership dues are terminated!
We obviously encourage those who can continue supporting KLIK Radio to donate whatever they can swing each month. Plus, we speculate that if donations are voluntary, they’ll give a tad bit more 😉
So! End of the drama. Sort of. We still need to sell 34 tickets by the 14th to pay for our insurance bill. So please. Buy some tickets.
