Default Is Pay Pal acceptable.....

Hi Eric

I missed the Acton show in October where I would have renewed my membership. Is it possible to send the $$ by Pay Pal...?

The I could ask you to send me issue # 65 so I don't fall behind.

Bob

Default payment

Hello Bob

There is no set up for paypal at this time.

They looked at a credit card set up in the past but it was not worth the cost.

Currently only cash in person or cheque sent to the treasurer.

Thanks

Eric

Default He-Male renewals.....

Bonjour Eric

Will OMVA accept Pay Pal for email renewals...? I keep rubbing money on the computer screen but my emails will not accept it.....

Sent as a gift there should be no admin fees for OMVA.

Bob
..... former lazy OMVA member who has not yet renewed but is willing to....

One would think that as a group, and in the interest of members, that OUR Executive would volunteer the use of a personal Paypal account to submit funds to on behalf of the OMVA.
Surely the Treasurer would be able to take on such a responsibility.
I buy and sell regularly and use Paypal for lots of stuff.
Geez, the MVPA takes all forms of payment as do other groups.
.
BTW, if one were to manage to attend the OMVA show, who would they give the $$$ to??????

Default Paypal

Paypal could be a reasonable option for payment.

However there are no plans at this stage by the current executive to have Paypal as a form of payment.

The use of a personal Paypal account to receive funds on behalf of the OMVA would not be permitted. Any organization would frown upon that proposal.

The OMVA would have to open its own Paypal account with its banking information registered with Paypal. That way funds go directly into the OMVA account.

This would not be free and there would be a fee for this, unless the person sending the funds agrees to pay the service charge. Otherwise the OMVA would have to charge extra for this service to cover the cost.

There was a membership survey conducted a couple of years ago and there was not sufficient interest to further other forms of payment other than cash in person or cheque by mail.

Credit cards were one of the options looked at but again it was not feasible due to the extra costs.

I am flattered that we are being compared to the MVPA. They can look at other forms of payment as they have a membership of 8,000.00 worldwide while we are fewer than 180 members, predominantly based in Ontario. In addition they have paid employees while we have a limited number of volunteers, basically the Executive.

As always there is a table set up at the OMVA Shows with an Executive Member on hand to receive your renewal or a new member’s fee, which are then placed into the OMVA account.

There will be an OMVA table set up at the Oshawa Museums Summer Show on the Saturday for those wishing to renew or join up in June.

The Treasurers position is now vacant and we are seeking an OMVA member to fill this position.

In addition we are still seeking a Membership Coordinator and a Web Master.


Nominations or volunteers can send me an e-mail at cmpmagazine@hotmail.com .

Thank you

Eric

Default What's up?

So, let me get this straight.
The Treasurer is gone, and the Membership Co-ordinator and the Web Master are absent or were never there?
I expect that the Newsletter Editor is still present, as per this post.
Rumour has it that we have a new interim VP and that the President has or is vacating his position. Please set us straight.
All evidence would suggest to the average layperson that there may be or is a problem within the Organization, or that it is simply time for a change....

Yes i do read CMP. Sorry I am confused. You were the one that just yesterday mentioned looking for a Membership Co-ordinator and Web master as per your quote....

Not stirring a pot, just looking for clarification.
