Membership renewal

What's up with the membership renewal system? Checks are going uncashed (for weeks!). Emails go unanswered. Phone calls are met with a voice mail that says the message box is full and can accept no further messages. If online renewal is going to be the only accepted way to renew, then don't offer other methods in the email renewal notices. This is just good Customer Relations 101. Who's minding the "store"? If there's a problem I'm not aware of, please clue me in. Doug Kelm What's up with the membership renewal system? Checks are going uncashed (for weeks!). Emails go unanswered.

Yup, something is up at POCA. Seems to be a complete mess. Maybe someone is sick? Whatever the case. Membership is not working right now. Brent

Guys, POCA had an election a few years ago, and Debi Mead was elected as Membership person while Josette became Advertising/Publicity person. Debi's had a few challenges recently- one of the L.A. fires was stopped 5 doors from her's and Scott's home. And since he was 2 weeks out of spinal surgery, he wasn't up to running much. She's Scotts caretaker. No power for days (weeks?) and no cell phone as the towers were also damaged. IMHO, some slack needs to be cut.

Hi everyone, My wife, Debi Mead, is POCA's Membership Director. Several of our family members have recently experienced significant health issues, and Debi has been the one-armed wallpaper hanger, juggling work, our home, chauffeur to Dr. appointments, etc. (and POCA Membership). She asks for your patience and for me to convey her apologies for the backup. She said she will be caught up with POCA membership tasks/calls/etc. by Sunday evening.
