I paid my dues over a year ago and have not received any notices, included features and/or benefits. Also when I post any of my squirrels for sale they are deleted. I would like my monies returned via paypal to melonie_buchanan@netzero.com and I would like to leave this forum. I'm sorry it didn't work out but I feel I am being discriminated against.

Okay I can't afford my dues right now so I just sent a one time donation... : ) Hope it helps !

[Joan]

Amy, do you want to have it held until you have the rest of the renewal fee?

[angelicparticles]

Joan I don't mind either way, I am just happy to be able to give...

[Joan]

I'm holding it.

[Chippy]

Joan,
I don't remember when I became a member of NFSA. I do not recall receiving any membership renewal so I thought I better check. Thanks! M...

[Joan]

I'll send you a notice when you're due.

[Chippy]

[quote="Joan"][b]I'll send you a notice when you're due. :D [/b][/quote]
Thanks!

[flyer_1]

I just sent the 20 dollars to pay pal for my membership anybody know how long it takes for your info to be updated, or when you receive your decals and when you get all the perks.

[Tigershark08]

It didn't take long at all for me to get my decals, even though I didn't have the right address on Paypal so Joan had to send them to me twice! It was like two weeks after my joining that she resent them, so yeah I would have had them within like a week.

[flyer_1]

Thanks, that's kinda what I thought.

[violetlady]

I joined NFSA yesterday via paypal, but haven't yet recieved a confirmation email, other than the auto paypal receipt. I emailed Joan with my info yesterday & today but haven't gotten a reply yet. I'm not trying to be pushy, just don't want it to get lost in the shuffle.
Thanks

[Joan]

You're in an decals will be mailed out soon,

[legomom0701]

Joan,
I never got a renewal notice for my membership & to be honest, can't remember exactly when I joined.
Could you check for me, please?

Thanks!

[Joan]

Sure, I'm behind in notifications so don't worry.

[Emily]

My name is Emily from Biloxi, MS. I'm so sorry. I failed to see the membership fee when I logged on the other day. I just paid it w/paypal. I already posted 2 or 3 post this am, probably in the wrong place. I apologize for that. Hopefully, you may be able to figure out where they fit best, as I was rather wordy in telling my story, but couldn't seem to shorten it any. Thanks. I hope now to be a 'full-fledged member' of the NFSA. My email is emilymcraney@yahoo.com , though you prob. know that automatically. Please let me know if I need to do anything else, and the 'proper' place I should post. Thanks so much.
Sincerely, Emily McRaney

[WillowsMama]

dumb question....but how often do we renew and am I current?

[Joan]

Not dumb. I have been letting renewals ride for moths to set up a twice a year schudule instead of getting payments monthly. Dues will probably be due June and December, depending on you notification from me. They will still be just once a year, but due in one of those months. I am finding it too much to send out monthly notifications. So watch you mail.
