4. Because we had only very minor expenses in 2008, and most were covered by bank interest, it was decided that it was appropriate to skip dues for 2008 so no request for dues was made to our residents for this one year.
5. To hold down expenses and also to reduce labor, it was decided in 2009 to post our newsletter on our website only, and to send a postcard to each OCGS household with information about our website. If members download the newsletter, pay 2009 dues, submit email addresses, we will continue this procedure. If, on the other hand, we do not receive dues or email data, then we will revert to hardcopy newsletters and dues requests. Of course, households without internet access can request a hard copy and that will be indicated on the postcard mailing made in late 2008.
6. Because we had only very minor expenses in 2010, and most were covered by bank interest, it was decided that it was appropriate to skip dues for 2010 so no dues bills were sent to our residents for this one year.
7. As of 2011, newsletters are again being mailed out through the USPS. These are also posted to our website as the above experiment did not work. Annual dues of $50 per year, per household, have been reinstated as well.
