[NFB-Web] Chapter Dues Collection

[Erik Burggraaf]

That seems uncalled for.  Affiliate president isn’t exactly a lazy job.  New York is my member state, and I’m the main beneficiary of the system Arthur is currently working on.  So I appreciate the effort, and have no reason to suspect anything of the sort from the president of New York.

Best,

Erik

That sounds like a great idea Arthur. Don’t know why your president didn’t want it, is he too lazy to make an effort to get the money to where it goes?

In the past, New York used Ubercart to collect dues for chapters and divisions. I set this up on the website as a feature without really telling leadership. The new president didn’t want to deal with the parsing out of funds once collected so I disabled it several years ago.

I was told yesterday, ironically, that he wants some of that functionality back for the at-large chapter and divisions. I am going to use the functionality of the PayPal donate button to do this. PayPal allows you to specify certain categories for donations as a drop-down list. So, I’m going to add donations to chapters and divisions as a part of that. Hope to have it done by end of today, if anyone wants to check it out. 

For an Ubercart example, visit blindeducators.org and click on the join menu item.

Hi,
 
Are any affiliates out there playing a central role in the collection of dues for their local chapters via their websites? If so, what mechanism are you using?
 
Thank you for any guidance,
 
Joe
