2018 ITSA Membership
« on: March 25, 2018, 02:14:33 PM »

I'm sending to all members a request for renewal of membership.
This is the list of members who already have the 2018 membership paid as of 3/25/18, either for the full year or at least until Worlds in August. If you are not in the list, you probably need to renew.  If you think you already renewed and are not in the list, please send an email to "treasurer(AT)spintops.org"

Thanks Jose and the dozen of members who renewed since yesterday.

We will mail a batch of embroidered patches in about two weeks, so please continue sending your renewals.

ta0: Just renewed. Thanks for all your work for ITSA.

I found the recommended online instructions at www.spintops.org/membership.html a little confusing in that there was no explicit renewal option. Finally paid by clicking the big yellow PayPal "Join" button. Suspect that was the right choice, but it might be helpful to change that button to read something like "Join or Renew", change the surrounding text, or both.

Also, are patches being mailed to an ITSA address of record in a database or to official PayPal addresses? Which mailing address becomes the default if these differ?

Thanks for the renewal.

Good points. Yes, I need to clarify that page.
Also, you can just send a Paypal payment of $10 to treasurer (at) spintops.org
By the way, I forgot to recommend that payments are sent as "friend" so there is no Paypal fee. But then you should put your address in the comments box as the payment won't have it.

I try to check if the Paypal address and the one on the database coincide. But it's a good idea that you send me a pm or email if your address has changed or is different from the Paypal address.

I plan to prepare this weekend a batch of patches to mail next week. So it's a good time to get your renewal or new membership in.
Be part of the worldwide community of spinning top enthusiasts! There not many things left that cost $10 for one whole year!  :)

I received my patch and a nice note from Tao last week. I am very happy to be a part of this group.

I need to renew!  The trouble is remembering how.   :-[

Did I sign up via PayPal?  If so, I wonder what my password is?  Can you tell that I'm not the techiest guy?

You can go to this page: https://www.spintops.org/membership.html and click on the button that says: Join ITSA

Or you can just log to your paypal account, click on Money/Send or Request Money/Send to Friends and Family (so we are not charged the fee), enter the email "treasurer(AT)spintops.org" and $10. PLEASE, write your name, forum nickname, and mailing address on the message box.

If you prefer to send a check, send me a pm for the address.

Thanks!!!!

Thanks for the patch, Jorge -- and for all the work you do for the group. Processing all those envelopes couldn't have been fun.

I have tried and tried to access my PayPal account, but to no avail.  It keeps telling me that some of my information is incorrect, although it has been the same for years, and I have it written down.  I don't know what the problem is....
