LPSF.org banner ads / Prop. K town hall speakout Thursday 7-9pm

Hi Rob,

You asked for input re: LPCA handling our dough. Fine with me, IF (1)
I ever see regular dues-share checks from them; and (2) We are certain
to have the names of the members/donors in an LPSF list for us to
contact them when we want to. Of course, because I am basically
paranoid, I would prefer that LPSF handle our own money ourselves, but
I can see your point of delegating that task and paying for the service.

Quick reply before sleep:

1) Marcy, click the postcard image, and it will pop up a zoomed in

version.

2) Starchild, thanks for catching the typo.
3) The "pill" at the top was a menu bar for which I hadn't populated

any

menu items. There are 3 now (the membership PDF and the 2 Yahoo

groups).

I was about to add "Donate to LPSF" but given that the payments go to
our webmaster who has been MIA for a while (seriously, does anyone know
if Bryce is alive and well?), I decided not to add that button yet.
Supposedly, we'll at some point get a referral code from LPC that will
let us redirect new members to the LPC's Click and Pledge Trio page, so
that they handle payments and just send us our share of the dues. What
do you all think about me proposing to the LPC ExCom a similar
arrangement where non-dues donations could be handled in a similar way,
with LPC keeping 10% of donations for overhead costs (I have to give
them some incentive for the extra work for the LPC Treasurer), but
forwarding 90% to us? I think that it would reduce paperwork for us

and

look a tad more professional than our current PayPal link.

Please discuss here, and we'll also put it on the agenda for the 8th.

At the same meeting where we were told about the centralized state
membership payment system with referral codes for county parties, we
were also told that the county parties would be able to access the state
member db directly without waiting for Beau to do exports for us. So
that would hopefully answer your #2. Of course, these things have been
promised for months, so who knows? Maybe after the election, they'll
have the time to finish these projects.
