RCIA LOGO Development **Payment Invoice DUE***

Roof Clean USA Georgia 229-227-0000 · guest

We have had a membership OPTIONAL format for a while now, and up until now we had NO formal way for anyone to make a contribution or donation payment offering or otherwise.

We now have a method in place for this. We will need all serious roof cleaning institute members to help now that we have a PAID forum and a NEW MEMBER WIDE RCIA CERTIFICATION LOGO.

Come on Guys, this is for YOU!

We built it, and made it better, now it is up to you where we go from here...

Here is YOUR chance to "PAY IT FORWARD" on here, to help the RCIA and give back some of what was freely given to you?

An offering of a donation is still not mandatory but is STRONGLY suggested to help the board move forward.

I will do my part, will YOU do yours?

Cmon guys give em something for all this work and free info. I know some of you donated during your certification test and that is great, maybe the other 300 or so members could give like $5 each ?? that would pay for a year of hosting and the logo as well as add to some ad revenue for the roundtable.

David, Tucker, etc: How would be the absolute most convenient method to accept payment from everyone? I'm gonna give, as I stated before. I also encourage every other SERIOUS roof cleaner to take part in this.

NOW IS THE TIME when this Institute becomes more accepted, respected, and protected. If you aren't serious, we'll weed you out quick!

Tucker, Sullivan, David, you guys know my number, so call and let me know how you want me to submit my payment.

I would be honored to participate, where do I pay, let me know. This site has been worth it's weight in gold !! Where would us newbies be without the help of all the veteran roof cleaners steering us in the RIGHT direction ? Exactly !! Wasting time and homeowners money. Do it right or don't do it at all !!!

Just let me know how much and I will send it on its way!!!!!

I am willing to send you a money order thats fine.If you don't mind me speaking freely I have the following thoughts about it. I think five dollars is way to small,I think fifty dollars or atleast forty should be the amount. I also think those who don't pay should be out. Sorry if that sounds cruel, but this is the real world.Pay by a certain date and your in, not paid your out.

EVERY repsectable organization has a paid member policy. By MANDATING a membership fee, it would almost certainly negate the lurkers and hacks who are here not to learn, but to steal information from the guys who have done their due diligence.

A membership fee is a great idea IMPO, but ultimately it is up to Tucker and the mods. I think the membership will save everyone alot of time and effort by automatically weeding out the folks who are not serious about our industry.

I am also sure there are some " helpfule secrets " some roof cleaners are keeping to themselves,and there is nothing wrong with that. But think about it, once you get to know these other companys and where they are at and that they are serious companys, additional helpful information may flow more freely.........I would like to think so.

Dave, looks like all we need to know is how much, where to send, and who to make it out to.

Apr 19, 2009

Thats fine but how much time will be allowed to send in money and what will happen to those who don't?

Confident Roof Cleaning Houston TX · Guest

hey Dave, just a quick question. What is the business classification of the RCIA? Is it considered a non profit? Is it registered as an LLC or partnership or something? Just wondering what the tax structure is going to look like...

Chris and I are still sorting this out guys. We appreciate your interest in helping out the board. The info on membership dues and etc. will be posted soon as we work out the details. Please be patient and stay tuned.

Can't they just put some money on the donation for the site at the bottom of the home page. I only suggested the $5 because it equals over $1500 and no one seems to be donating at all, the $5 has nothing to do with membership or monthly/ yearly dues.
But there are lots of opinions here.
Talk is great and all but ummm... Try donating on the homepage???
I did it like 5 days ago when it was first added, and no one else at all has ???
0 dollars is what people are giving currently.
My donation made this a paid site, and all I have seen everyones opinions on who needs to pay and how much, but no more donations, so I would appreciate some more action instead of talking.
Put your money were your words are???

I do apologize as this is probably my most negative post, but please go donate instead of saying how everyone needs to pay. They will make a decision on how to handle membership dues, this thread was just asking for some cash to pay for the logo, and we need a donation to pay for hosting after next month.

Also I am sure (or at least hope) most of you donated when you got certified and for that I thank you.

I didn't even know there was a contribute area on the main page. I usually go to the recent posts area to read the newest replys and topics. I will be sending a check because the credit card link isn't working.

My mistake the credit card link does work.
