Ready to Fly in 2016?

Post by krista »

All,

The weather is getting good, and we all want to fly. But we all need to do a few things to get ready to do so. Paying your membership dues is a key part of that, in addition to dusting off the gear, practicing the basics, and ensuring your reserve is good to go.

We have one new member this month. That means we have 60+ friends who haven't completed their minimum membership requirements. Since the weather is nice, and folks are out looking to fly, please help the club by making sure your friends are in good standing.

Don't let your friends fly delinquent.

Best,
Krista

Hi Krista,

Just tried to reup via the online payment but was blocked when I didn't join PayPal. Is there a way around this requirement?

Maybe this is a Mac issue?

You can use the online form without being a paypal member. Pick your membership type (flying member), press "buy now." Below the PayPal log in use the pay with online, debit or credit card window. Select "pay with debit or credit card." Enter your card number, expiration, security code, email address and billing address. After completing the form you will receive a confirmation email.

Or use the Hard-Copy Dues Payment form under CHGPA Membership Information/Hard Copy and send a check to the treasurer (Krista).

Hope that helps.

Thanks Charley, but still ended with the following image (see attached) and after several attempts to decline the PayPal membership I was blocked from paying. If this happened several years ago, I'd tack it up to a computer bug but now? Feels like a PayPal "strong arm" approach. Ward

Payment was processed (email conformation) but would have liked to see an online response that it went through instead of repeated requests to join PayPal.

Anyway, thanks for reminding us Krista.

Oh - And I also updated the roster with a handful of more pilots. Mark Gardner & Bjorn, apologies for missing you on a previous update.

Thanks folks and keep the dues a-comin'!
