OK gang,

As of late I have been working with the National BOD and the MWC BOD and we have been throwing around some ideas on how to grow our membership as well as retain our existing members. So after all was said and done our proposal for $$ from National was approved and we, the MWC BOD, have decided to match those funds with Chapter funds so that it gives us an opportunity to vest back into our chapter with even more $$$. Below is a copy of the proposal that was submitted and approvde by National.



To cover both membership growth and enhancement , the MWC would like to purpose a member referral and retainment program. It would be handled in a manner that would entice current members to stay in "active status, or RED" and would also encourage recruitment of new members. A quarterly raffle would be held in which the new and existing members of the MWC would be eligible. New members would receive 2 entries into the raffle, existing members would receive 1 entry and every new member referral would earn an additional entry. Items to be raffles would include, but not be limited to, MWC swag, trail/recovery gear, CB's, first aid kits and additional :NAXJA: required items for future trail runs. We are also checking the current financial status of the chapter and are leaning towards matching the funds provided by Natl. with chapter funds as well.


I will add that if your a current member and you have multiple referrals from new members, there is no limit on referral enteries into the raffle for a current member....so what I am getting at is that if a current member has 10 referrals in the quarter, then he/she gets the additional 10 enteries into the raffle. We are also looking into other little items (stickers, coozies etc) for hand outs at MWC events for members. This is all unchartered territory for us, so please work with us as we get going with this. I really think that this will be a great program and it also helps to redistribute some of the funds of the MWC back into the MWC.

Edit: This will include members that have their names in "BLUE" as well.

Cheeseman-OUT (and looking for new members! :D )

The first raffle drawing will be held this Thursday (9/30/2010) and we will be drawing 2 names to win a prize package worth $125 each including a new CB, and trail recovery/emergeny gear. If anyone is on the fence about joining or renewing NOW is the time!
 
Yup, all existing, new and renewed members. Basically everyone that is red, blue or green. The new members get their name entered in 2 times, where as existing or renewed members get their name entered once. If you are an existing member that referred a new member, you get an extra entry as well.

And if you are the member who referred Aaron, well then you are automatically not allowed in any raffle ever.

Shuddup, I referred myself! :looser:
 
Chz, are green names really in it too? Hey, I love free shtuff, but our money just goes toward the cost of the forum- no member perks at all, aside from posting, really.
Doesn't seem fair that we don't technically support the club itself, but could win stuff member funds pay for, ya know? But hey, if it's true, I renewed on 8/31 :D

hubs, I will run it by the BOD to make sure I did not post out of turn. I do know that red and blue names are included for sure. Thanks for being honest and bringing this to our attention.
 
It's nothin'. Just thinking that all of the raffles and discounts in the past few years were members only, so I thought I'd ask. I know the JeepSpeed contingency had people freaked out, thinking money would go to nonmembers, and wondered how the renewal thing would be handled. If I did win, I'd go red again on principle anyway. :)
 
hubs, we are going to include the green names in the raffle this time since I already stated it that way. But we will not be including the green names in future drawings...this might be enough to entice you to turn red :D
 
Done. (I've learned enough, gotten parts, sold parts, and wasted so much time on here, it's hard to rationalize not paying dues anyway.)

Ha, its about time. welcome to the red letters.
 
OK, the names are drawn and this quarters winners are as follows:

Member # 3318
Name: Charles Suter
Screen name: chaz_88_MJ

and

Member# 771
Name: Robert Hull
Screen name: Wrench Monkey

Congats to all the members for keeping up on membership and for the referrals. Our chapter is keeping very solid numbers. :thumbup:

Winners will receive a new CB kit, recovery strap, clevises, MWC sticker and NAXJA trail/trash bag. The next drawing will be held at the end of December and along with 2 winners being drawn for the above mentioned prize packs, we are going to have a "grand prize" as well...but you will just have to wait and see what it is! :D

Cheese "tell all your friends" Man
