OK, we have the site up, and everythings going fine, but we still need some stuff done. I think that we need a treasurer (yes this is already up, but few have responded. One vote) Are there any volunteers for the treasurer? I will volunteer, but only if no one else does. I say we give a deadline of say, June fifth, to volunteer, and we could have someone elected by the twentieth! Also, the society can't deal straight from someone's personal finances! That's something the treasurer needs to set up. once they're elected. Another thing we should do, once we get the finances, is to apply for nonprofit status and get our own financial identity. Another duty for the treasurer. Again, I am volunteering, but only if no one else wants to. I will be happy to be treasurer, but it's open to anyone. After we have obtained a treasurer, then we need anyone interested in the society to send their dues in! Once we have our own financial identity that is.
Also, besides the treasurer, we need other positions to be filled. I have this in another post, but no one responded.
We need a president, treasurer, someone to head and edit the newsletter (could be more than one person), someone to coordinate meetings/events, a manager of the seed bank (when we get seeds, this position isn't urgent), a treasurer, and a webmaster (patrick triggs, aka ptfreelander).
Webmaster is taken. We will get a treasurer soon, and as we won't have meetings for at least a while, the next things we will need are the journal position(s) and a president. President should be by nomination. Nominate today! As for the journal, we need volunteers! I have pieced together an article on the basics of nepenthes cultivation, and I am looking for others to put together some articles! Maybe we should make it mandatory for all members to submit at least one article a year for inclusion in the journal. We could have a list of past topics, and people could choose new ones!
Thanks,
Craig
