[rfu-membership] Reminder: Renew RFU Memberships ASAP, Membership Meeting Sunday, Nov. 4 at Noon

[Mike Lehman]

I processed the latest batch of RFU membership renewals and added them 
to my list. Just over 40 members have renewed. There are about a dozen 
shows which are fully qualified by having at least two members renewed.

There are a number of programming groups that have only one member 
renewed. Please note that you need at least two current members to 
continue to be qualified for a show slot. You should remind other 
members of your programming group to renew or find other partners. 
Otherwise, if it is just you who has renewed, you'll lose your show slot.

The RFU-Membership group will be meeting Sunday Nov. 4 at noon to 
finalize the new schedule based on those who have renewed their 
membership at that point. This revised schedule will be presented for 
finalization at the Tuesday, Nov. 6 general meeting. We will be changing 
the studio door lock combination shortly thereafter and only issuing it 
to those programming groups that have renewed at least two members.

If you intend to continue your show, you MUST have two members of your 
programming group renewed. Please do this ASAP, preferably this week by 
stopping by the IMC, completing the membership form, and depositing it 
with your renewal into the drop safe if Joy is not in the Finance office.

Those programming groups who have renewed can likely anticipate a number 
of time slots to open up that were formerly held by non-renewing shows. 
As soon as we have a confirmed list of open slots, Noel will announce it 
for claims by existing shows, then we'll open up any remaining slots to 
new shows.

For all practical purposes, unless we get your renewal to us by the Nov. 
6 RFU general membership meeting, you can assume that you will lose your 
show slot. If you renew after that date, we cannot guarantee your 
programming group will get the same slot as before, because we will 
already have made it available for claims by others. Once claimed by a 
qualified programming group, it will no longer be your slot.
