Overview
Most
WildFyre Society events are open to members and non-members alike. Parties in
private homes are for members only (and the accompanied guests that they
include in their RSVP). Members also get discounted entry to certain events and
may advertise for free on our Classifieds page.
Current policy is to treat dues as an initiation fee; valid memberships are
automatically extended each year for free, until further notice. Unfortunately,
the club is not accepting new members for the time being. Instead, interested men are
welcome to subscribe to our e-mail
list.as non-member contacts.
Member vs. guest
Just because someone is
on the club’s e-mail list does not
mean that he is a member. Individuals that have submitted a completed
membership application form with dues (or received a waiver for service to the
club) since March 2000, and not terminated or suspended their membership
through resignation or other cause, are members in good or fair* standing. Anyone else is a guest.
Questions? Current members may address any question about their membership
status to our membership director, or see
him at a WildFyre event. E-mail address changes are not accepted via e-mail,
but are by self-service only. See E-mail list page for instructions.
Our event hosts plan for
food, beverages, and other items based on the RSVPs we receive. You must RSVP
by the cut-off date noted in each event invitation in order to attend. Some of
our events have attendance caps, and space is reserved on a first-come,
first-served basis in the order in which RSVPs are received.
Once you accept an
invitation, let us know with as much notice as possible if you find you can not
attend, but no later than the stated RSVP deadline. Do
not be a no-show or late canceller! No-shows
and post-deadline cancellations hurt the club by needlessly shutting out other
members from limited-attendance parties, causing waste of food and other
provisions, and diminishing the amount of funds raised
for the worthy causes that the
club supports from the proceeds of its events. No-shows and late cancellers are
tracked, and they are expected to make good on the missed donation at the next
WildFyre event that they attend (or by mail).
* A
member with one unresolved no-show or late cancellation is considered in fair standing, with return to good standing pending
receipt of the donation for the missed event that the individual had RSVPed to
attend. A subsequent no-show or late cancellation while the previous one
remains unresolved results in immediate suspension. Membership is revoked and
the individual is removed from the WildFyre contact list if full restitution is
not made within 30 days of notification of suspension. (While members are
offered the above remedy, offending non-member contacts are removed and banned
from the club’s e-mail list without notice.)
