Dean

John

Dave Suponski 09-13-2010 06:36 PM

Welcome to all our new and renewed members! I just want to thank all the guy's and gal that put this online membership deal together. Great great job folks!....:bowdown:

John Dunkle 09-13-2010 07:07 PM

Aww - thanks Dave.. It's been a team effort to make all this happen. Sort of like a squad shooting Sporting Clays - everyone has a "good station" which brings the score up for the entire team. And different folks shine on different stations...

John

John Dunkle 09-13-2010 09:10 PM

And I just added Mike Wilkerson..

Mike - simply - thank you!

John

Mike Wilkerson 09-13-2010 10:20 PM

To all who are wondering it was the fastest and best $40 bucks I've ever spent. There was none of this involved :banghead:. :)

Mike

Ken Descovich 09-13-2010 11:36 PM

Thanks guys! It was very easy to pay for membership on-line and it helps us procrastinators that have problems mailing in the check. :)

Now how about doing the same for Parker letters?:shock:

Ken

Rich Anderson 09-14-2010 08:52 PM

Just how secure is this? I have never put a crdt card number on line. I'd rather get the bill in the mail and send a check. Call me old fashioned but I do shoot 100+ year old guns and I can barley work this computer:rotf:

John Dunkle 09-14-2010 09:36 PM

Hey Rich!

It's danged secure and last time I checked, PayPal processes about $4Billion in transactions per month and if their secure technology were deemed insecure, we'd prolly found out by now? Anyway, for folks like yourself who'd rather send in a check, you bet you can do it that way!

Btw - you going to MD later this month??? Hope to catch up with you there (and bring some cookies, ok? ;) )

Best to you!

John

Dave Suponski 09-14-2010 09:51 PM

John...you sure you wanna do that? Andersons a pretty cranky ol coot....:biglaugh:

Dean Romig 09-14-2010 10:55 PM

Hey Rich.... it's 2010.... time marches on, catch up will ya?!? :knowbetter:

Dean Romig 09-14-2010 11:15 PM

Cookies? HAH!! He don't have none left! He ate 'em all on the way back home to Michigun last time.

Of course, if he was to bring some 'trade goods' (like a case of JD) somebody might consider tradin a bag of cookies for it :whistle:

John Dunkle 09-15-2010 07:52 AM

And, not to bring this topic back on topic :D :eek:

I'd like to Welcome back Dave Fuller - thank you Dave!!

John Dunkle 09-26-2010 08:39 AM

And this morning.... Hi Travis Newman and Thank you!! :)

John

Dean Romig 09-26-2010 09:27 PM

It's great to see this new program working so well. John, do you have a count of how many have joined or renewed so far by this completely trouble-free and convenient on-line method?

John Dunkle 09-26-2010 09:48 PM

Hi Dean and all...

First of all - many thanks! Yes, it's been a wonderful success and there is more coming to add more "web value" to those who are members, so stay tuned, ok? As well, I try to keep the first post in this thread updated with the names of the new/renewed members who use the on-line membership links.

For that, and in addition, Jennifer is tracking the members who join via USPS and she does a wonderful job. So, in total over the past two weeks alone since announcing on-line and for those who have sent in checks - I believe we are now over 80 new and renewed PGCA Members.

It's a strong message about all PGCA is and will be in the future. But that's not to my credit, but rather to the credit of each and every current PGCA member.

My best always,

John

John Dunkle 09-27-2010 09:54 PM

And to Scott Hanes....

Thank you..!!! Your Member title is all set - and with our appreciation!

John

Dean Romig 09-27-2010 10:24 PM

John, are you tracking renewals seperate from new registrations on those who have done so online?

John Dunkle 09-27-2010 10:27 PM

Hi Dean..

HUH???? What did you say???

I track on-line Memberships - both NEW members and RENEWED Members? Both are equally welcomed. Is that what you are asking?

John

Dean Romig 09-27-2010 11:15 PM

No John, I know you welcome everyone who joins or renews (you're that kind of guy - friendly, warm and sincere) I was just curious how many new members have signed on here vs. the number of renewals using this new feature. I don't think it will tell us anything - I'm just curious about the numbers split.

John Dunkle 09-28-2010 08:19 AM

Hey Dean and all..!

Awww - I see what you mean..! Right now, it's about 80-85% are renewed vs. 15-20% new (as a SWAG).. I suspect that will change in the next few months, though - becoming about a 60%-40% (renewal - new) mix...

For mail in memberships - it's about the same right now as the on-line ratio...

Best to you!

John

Dean Romig 09-28-2010 08:54 AM

Exactly! Thanks John, that's what I meant. Sorry I wasn't clear at first.

Dean

John Dunkle 09-29-2010 12:09 PM

And to Craig Reynolds - thank you!!

:cheers:

John

John Dunkle 09-29-2010 01:35 PM

And Mark (you know who you are ;) ) - thanks my friend for your continued support!

John

John Dunkle 09-29-2010 07:31 PM

Hi Jerry Manion..!

Thank you so much for your support of PGCA!

My Best Always,

John

John Dunkle 09-30-2010 04:23 PM

And - I know the system works.. Even Rich Anderson (an old guy who shoots old guns :D ) got it to work..!! Rich - welcome back (not that you really left - but - well, you know.. ;) )...

John
