DFMC March Newsletter

Our March newsletter is now available as a PDF.

Update: I just noticed that the "From the Chair" column was truncated when I published the original PDF below. Here's the full version:

At the March Linkup, the active membership voted approve the Steering Committee’s recommendation on an important change in the way we consider who is a “member” of our organization. DFMC’s most important goal for 2008 is to increase our membership; I believe that this change is instrumental to making that happen.

Our new policy creates annual membership dues of $10. Additional dues collected will be used to subsidize memberships for students and others unable to pay the full amount.

Until now, we had based our membership on attendance, requiring that members attend four meetings before they were considered “active” and eligible to vote. Our new system is much simpler from an administrative standpoint, and, more importantly, lowers the barrier to entry for new members. This new system will provide a solid financial base for our organization as we continue to grow.

We’re currently working on a way to accept membership applications and donations on our website. Until then, please contact me at chair@d4mc.org, or contact our Treasurer, Eric Schmitz, to become a member of Democracy for Monroe County.
See you at the April Linkup!
