The FC Birthday Club started in November of 2004, about 2.5 years ago. When it started, we agreed that the club would be based upon each member's word. However, because of the growth of FC and the change over in members in this club, we have decided that it's time to implement rules that will keep all members accountable and happy.
Here are the basics:
- Send out birthday cards (must be snail mail, including to those out of the country) to all members that have a birthday during the current month
- between the 15th and the 20th of the month you fill out the
Birthday Club Questionnaire. A reminder email will be sent on the 15th to encourage you to fill it out. If your questionnaire is not received by the 20th you will be removed from the club and would need to
fill out the form to join again in a future month
- Forms for new and rejoining members will be accepted through the 23rd of each month
- New list for the next month will be sent on the 25th of each month
IMPORTANT: During the month of your birthday, please keep track of who you received snail mail cards from as you will be asked that question on the end of month questionnaire.
Moderators will check the questionnaires and any member not sending out their snail mail cards for two months in a row will be suspended from the club for two months.
If at any point you feel you need to back out of the club for whatever reason, please indicate that on the questionnaire.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE: We do have international members participating in the Birthday Club. Please keep in mind that these members are sending cards to several people in the states as well! Below is the cost of postage rates to send to international members.
If you are not willing to send to international members you cannot participate in this club:
Postage from US to foreign countries:
TO CANADA, EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA: 90 cents
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
Thanks!
