There will be two downtime periods in the next week or so.
Most of the new membership rates take effect on December 1st, so I may have to shut membership processing down long enough to make sure all the new rates are in effect. This should only take a few minutes. (He says, with his fingers crossed.)
TDs, please note that means you need to have memberships you collected at the old rates at your events over the coming weekend processed by midnight central time this Sunday.
As a reminder, the rates that are changing on December 1st are:
Premium Young Adult (1 year rate goes from $25 to $32)
Premium Youth (1 year rate goes from $19 to $27)
Premium Scholastic (1 year rate goes from $17 to $23)
Life Memberships (goes to $1500)
Family Plan Type I (goes from $64 to $70)
Family Plan Type II (goes from $35 to $44)
Senior memberships that are not submitted online, and special memberships also go up on December 1st, and
new sustaining membership plans may not be started after November 30th, though existing ones may continue to be paid off until completed. The 6 month trial rate is also discontinued as of December 1st.
There will be a longer outage to switch over to the new web server. This has been rescheduled to begin at noon central time on Wednesday, Dec 3rd. (I think we’ll be done ahead of 5PM, the functional testing started yesterday and has been relatively smooth, as these sorts of things go, but last minute complications could arise.)
