$5?
Make it a $10 increase.
I guess I better get my renewal in.

Thanks for noticing that Todd, it was something that we had no control over.
Speaking of the donation program. The number of people who have sent in
donations has dropped considerably.
I would really like to encourage everyone just to contribute at least $5. We
have had some huge expenses that is really sticking it to our financial
bottom line
1. We have been required to replace our traffic signs with the new ODOT
specific ones - our cost for 60 signs is $14,000.
2. Our insurance premium went up 368 % and we were required to pay $11,000
in order for the policy to go in force for 2007.
3. Like always we have had to purchase the road and mtn bike numbers and
the total cost for that is over $20,000.
I really argued that we not increase our membership fees. I felt that it
would hinder participation. But if everyone gave $5 more then we would raise
almost $15,000.

Hey OBRAland,
I noticed today that if you do the online registration through
Signmeup.com and put in an OBRA donation the processing fee goes up.
Obviously, Signmeup.com is a business and need to take their cut to
cover expenses and profit, but if you're going to make a sizable
donation to OBRA and want to see all that money go to OBRA, you might
want to do it the old fashioned way with a check/letter.
The % that Signmeup charges decreases the more you pay. Playing around
with their site I came up with the following:
$10 donation = $1.65 charge
$100 donation = $7.50 charge
$500 donation = $33.00 charge
$1000 donation = $66.00 charge
-Todd

We have had 624 join for 2007 so far. As you know, we will hold your
2006 number until Jan 15, after that date we will issue numbers in
numerical order according to category. This will mean that there will be
no 300 numbers available after 1/15 and very few 500 numbers. If you
want to retain your 300 or 500 series number please join asap.

Ps Happy New Year, only 46 days until the first event
