Important NOTE RE: 2019 PAYMENTS

CHEQUES: Recommend not placing your cheque in the mail at this point. Send me an email and I will then go down to the club and pick up your dropped off cheque. If you are too far out of Owen Sound, contact me, and we’ll talk!!

Yesterday a Postal picket line was up, I will check back later this week.

E-TRANSFERS: I have processed many of these payments but the bank places a maximum that can be done in a day and in a week. IF you are concerned that you have not had a timely indication of a successful deposit then fire off an email and I can let you know what the status is.

Many deposits were delayed until Nov 5 due to time required to work on the bookkeeping for month end, year end and Board meeting.  I will now be able to keep on top of them in a little more timely fashion.

Thank-you for your understanding,

Becky Middlebrook

The invoices for the 2019 Membership Year have been sent out.

Payments have been arriving daily and I will start making deposits on Nov 1st and emailing the receipts.

Due date is November 30th
