Financial Secretary’s Message
Bill Bozzelle
8601 GOES HIGH TECH
Everywhere you go nowadays, they usually prefer to be paid by “plastic” (a debit or credit card). You can slide it, or plug it in so that the chip can be read, you can even just “tap” the card on the reader pad. Well, 8601 has been High Tech for several years now, at least when it comes to payments at our Fish Fry Fund Raisers. We have been using the SQUARE processing program. But now, in answer to your requests (Kevin Heltz, Worthy DA) we are setting up a DUES Billing and PAYING system completely online and paperless (and they said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks).
The problem, as I see it, is for this old dog to teach the rest of you old dogs the new trick. Actually, you may have to get your teenage grandkid to help on this one lol.
We do not want our dues money going through the Supreme Accounting office so this will have to be a little complicated, but I’m confident that any of you who are interested will be able to pay online. The rest of you can still pay by paper check and even with CASH (provided you have TWO forms of photo ID-you can’t trust cash any more nowadays). We’re sorry, but we CANNOT accept Crypto Currency as payment so you’ll have to unload your worthless Bit Coins somewhere else.
So, now for the instructions:
Sometime next week you’ll receive your 2023 Dues Invoice by way of an email from Supreme. If you want to pay by check or cash, just print out that form and get me your payment. Do NOT reply directly to Supreme.
If you want to pay by credit card, please contact me by phone or email to ask for an electronic invoice. I’ll then send you a second invoice with a link for you to use to log on and make your payment through SQUARE. It will be set up just like any other online Credit Card system, and the money goes directly to our account. The only downside is that, like everything else in the cyber world, we are charged a “handling fee” for each payment. The fee is a percentage of the payment-plus 30 cents. We have decided to pass that fee on to you who pay online to the tune of $2.00 per payment of “regular dues” and $1.00 for Honorary Dues. Your invoice will reflect that. There’s even a line for a “tip”. If you are so pleased with my set up you may add a “little something” to your payment for my efforts (lol).
That’s all there is to it, as far as I can tell. I would imagine there will be some “kinks” to iron out (no I gave up ironing my hair many years ago). Please be patient as we work through this change. Here’s a thought, if you do NOT get an invoice, it probably means that Supreme has your email address incorrect. So, if you do not get the first email invoice by January 10, please let me know.
Welcome to the computer world. Soon, there will be nothing for us to do without a computer—”In the year 5555—your arms hangin’ limp at your sides….”
