Membership Renewals for 2010/11 – Please Read

,

Allow me to thank all who have continued to support the Northern CA Fire Mechanics Association.  If you have not already renewed your membership, it expires at midnight tonight, June 30, 2010.  We have a two month grace period prior to cancelling your membership.  To entice you to renew now, I have such a deal for you.   The Executive Board has listened to those who have requested a change from a fiscal year membership of July 01 -June 30 to that of a calendar year of January 01 – December 31.  Renew now and you will get 18 months for the price of 12.  Your $35 individual memberships or $140 Department membership (5 for the price of 4) will buy you membership through December 31, 2011.

I know that some procedures to process applications through your agencies take longer than others.  If you know that you have a long process, let me know so that I do not cancel your membership.  Also remember that you can join/renew through the PayPal process using your/dept. VISA/MasterCard by going to the website www.ncfma.org and clicking on the JOIN link.  The PayPal option is at the bottom of the link.  It is quick and easy.  Painless, even.

I look forward to renewing your membership.

!!! ALL STOP, 1411.7 ALL STOP !!!

!!! ALL STOP, 1411.7 ALL STOP !!!

Following assurances by all concerned at CalTrans that the CCR 1411.7 was a done deal and became law on Dec. 3 at 5:00 PM, we received a call today from James Anderson of CalTrans that stated the law change has been tabled by the CA Division of Administrative Law who does not like some the wording. Apparently, he bulk of the content is fine.

UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, ALL MESSAGES PERTAINING TO CHANGES ARE NULL AND VOID. CONTINUE TO RUN UNDER THE EXISTING RULE. 

Egg on our face, to be sure. Frustration?  Beyond your comprehension.  This will be fixed and has a mandated maximum 120 day window. If your exemption is about to expire, renew it. 

From all of us working on this issue, our sincere apologies for the premature announcement that we had a successful result. Please get on the phone and spread the word to anyone not on the automatic email system.
