[C320-list] Membership renewal from your Secretary/Treasurer

[Bill Culbertson]

 Thanks for saying this Chris and you are absolutely right.  I should have included a sentence that not everyone was invoiced because a number of members are active until 30-June-2021 or 30-Sept-2021.  As Chris says, memberships are staggered.  In particular all memberships expire on one of 31-Mar, 30-June, 30-Sep, 31-Dec.  This is because mainsheet is published quarterly and when you join, your membership is good for exactly 4 calendar quarters to get 4 issues.  If you join 20-Mar-2020, your membership expiration date is 31-Mar-2021
I should have been a bit more precise in wording my post.  A lot of members were sent invoices but not everyone.
I would have emailed only the group of people who were due or past due to renew but the problem I was trying to solve is that it was looking as if some emails were not getting through.  So I did the discussion list post.  I've since confirmed that a number of people looked all over and did not receive the email that the system claims was delivered successfully.  So some more sleuthing will be needed to sort this out.
Thanks all,

 Hey everybody,
The renewals are staggered, so everybody would not have been sent a
notice...
