Dues collection will be done as follows.
At any rate, the rules for dues are as follows:
A) Dues will be collected once a month on the 15th by the LT of the area or by the acting Brother. No longer will Brothers and Petitioners be allowed to accrue a debt and pay it off at their next event. The LT/Acting Brother will report to me on the 16th of the month on who has paid dues and who has not.
B) The LT/Acting Brother (AB) will be responsible for keeping a register and writing down who has paid what. The LT/AB will also be responsible for keeping receipts of purchases made. Purchases will need to also be logged in the register.
C) Brothers/Petitioners ARE allowed to pay ahead. If you want to pay the amount for the year in one fell swoop, feel free.
D) Dues will be set at $10 dollars a month. Please note that this is a very small amount when you think about it. Collect change, don't go out to eat once, etc.
E) The individual Brothers/Petitioner is responsible for getting the dues to the LT. You can do this by any means necessary: personal drop off, mail, passing it to another Brother, etc. It's YOUR fault if you pass it to a Brother and for some reason, it doesn't make it to the LT in time.
F) Punishments will not be enforced for those who do not pay their dues. Unfortunately, there is no 'positive reinforcement' that works with paying dues. We tried that, oh hey, we can do such and such with dues. Well, who has paid dues recently? Here's how it's going to go:
1.) You have a leniency period of one month. If you can't pay dues one month but will have it the next, that's fine. Should that 15th roll around again, you will be punished.
2.) At the next event, at the beginning, dues tally will be taken. If it's seen that you had a period of time that dues were not paid with any legitimate reason, you will be given the title Bitch for a certain amount of time. This will keep people from just waiting until the event and paying. For example, if you had a span of 2 months you didn't pay, you will be Bitch for one day of the event. It's 12 hours for ever month.
3.) For those who DON'T know what Bitch is... you don't want to know. Pay your dues.
4.) For those that are seen to constantly be late, do not pay, etc, the Captain/LT will take the Brother aside, find out the reason. Should the reason be a fairly lame one, the title of Bitch and possible temporary trading of the ring for the sash will be done for a time discussed by the Cap/Lt.
G) It is understood that there may be legitimate reasons dues cannot be paid. Discuss this with your LT/AB and it'll be passed off to the Captain. If the reason is legitimate, a time limit may be discussed, or in special cases, we might just buck up and pull it out of our own pockets. I don't care where the money comes from, but dues have to be paid.
H) Dues will be collected in the following areas until further notice: Ohio, California and Illinois. As time passes, Illinois may be divided into one or two sections. There's no reason why you wouldn't see at least one Brother in a month and be able to pass on cash.
I) Both Brothers and Petitioners are responsible for paying dues.
J) What is done with the cash from dues is up to the individual section. The LT will discuss with fellow Brothers what should be done with the money, take a vote and do so.
K) Those serving in the military/overseas: It is going to be put to vote whether or not you have to pay dues. If the vote comes through, Dragass will be responsible for collecting them.
L) These rules will stand until further notice. If you don't like it... well... you had your chance to vote on dues and I did state they will be enforced. I hope there's no reason to enforce them. I'd like to think we're all grown up enough and love the Company enough to be able to fork out ten bucks a month for it.
Current collection points are as follows:
Aratus for OH
Wolf for CA
Porno for Southern IL
Olos for ST. Louis
Minihyl for Chicago.
Dragass for those serving in the military.
It should also be noted that Porno has a paypal account and any dues paid to that will be recorded by him and considered collected. Money will be used for weapons/equipment towards the person that paid their dues to him. In other words, you WILL see where the money goes.
