Membership?
I signed up at the MFA membership drive , its been almost a month and I still have not received a single thing. How long does this normally take? I brought others with me and they have not heard anything either. Is there anybody out there?

If you joined or renewed for 2011, the newly elected Board hasn't even had a meeting to decide what will be in the member packet for next year. Usually member packs don't go out until at least January and sometimes Feb.

So then dont ask for new members until you are ready to deal with them... all Im saying is... A little note or something saying that " No we didnt stick you in the ass for 20 bux " would be nice!!

I agree it would be nice. But there may be no volunteer assigned yet to do such a thing. The MFA sometimes starts from scratch with new officers in November. It's not that anyone has slipped up letting you know, there's sometimes no one who has volunteered or been assigned the task of memberships manager for the next year until the December Board meeting.

I guess then maybe the membership drive should not be held until people have been put in place to deal with it....Kinda putting the cart before the horse here a little I think.....Maybe schedule the drive for the end of December next year???

It's been done like this for years, relax.
Most org. do the same thing. PDGA wants you to renew now, but you don't see anything until Jan-Feb.

Well "Alpha", if you're so concerned the December MFA meeting will be held this Saturday at HSSA at 5pm. I suggest you go and voice your opinion there. That is why these meetings take palce after all... No need getting so bent out of shape. On behalf of the MFA I would like to personally apologize to you that we didn't get your disc, mini's, bumper stickers, and coupons to you the DAY AFTER the tourney, but it just doesnt work that way. You're going to get everything that you're entitled to very soon so chill out. Hope to see you this Saturday! :)

A: What and Where is HSSA?
B: Bent out of shape??? You have not seen bent out of shape my friend.... however.....continue to demean me and you will.
C: I posted this on Dec 4th.... almost a MONTH after the membership drive and after not hearing a peep about how things "work" as you put it. Being a brand new member, and not knowing about the december board meeting etc....I felt I was well within my rights to ask what the hell was going on at that point in time.
D: Apology accepted.

1. Hyland Hills Ski and Snowboard Area in Bloomington is where the meeting will be.
2. Don't try and get all tough. You previous comments were coming off as harsh thus I decided to explain a little better, but threatening me will get you no where.
3. We really appreciate you singing up for the MFA and again we apologize for the delay on the delivery of your goods. The 2011 membership cards haven't been made yet, the discs haven't been ordered, the coupons haven't been made, and it's not even 2011 yet. My best guess is after the new year things will get rolling. Last year we sent everything out in March. I too agree that you were within your rights to ask. We greatly value all members and their opinions so now that you know where and when the MFA meeting will be that's a great place to start voicing those opinions or concerns. We all truly hope to see you at the meeting on Satruday.

While I appreciate your explanation...My words should in no way be misconstrued as a threat, as they were not intended to be....Nor was I "trying to get all tough".... I was merely stating a fact.
Again...Thank you, and I eagerly anticipate your package !!
