[MR] NonMember Charges

[Brown, Tracey]

that would be appropriate after jan 1.  currently it's "site fee is $x.xx" and everyone with a valid membership pays $x.xx - $3.00

to my knowledge, trm were not aware that the bod would be implementing a $3 non-member surcharge when they implemented the current $3 member discount.  as logan mentioned, trh will hold a curia during their reign to re-address the issue and i would imagine the current $3 discount will go away in lieu of the bod's $3 surcharge.

and as far as it being confusing to people in event flyers in the acorn, i can personally attest that it is (currently at least) not a problem.  most autocrats are listing member prices separately from non-member prices or very clearly stating that members take $3 off the prices listed in the flyer.

Its really not as complicated as it seems. Set your site fee assuming 
that everyone is a member ($x.xx) everyone without a card pays 
$x.xx+$3.00. The extra $3.00 goes to Milpitas. My daughter often makes 
things more complicated than they are because she doesn't want to deal 
with it. The proper way to protest this back door Pay-to-play move is by 
complaining directly to the BOD. It would help if your complaint / 
protest also includes some alternative income stream to replace the 
$3.00 NMS. Actually I supported Pay to play back when it got the Whole 
BOD Lynched. A committed , paying and trackable membership is one 
element we need if we want to join the world community of historic - 
educational organizations, or we can decide against and join the RPGA.
