    This is a subject that has been discussed at length within the CFC Executive and we would like your feedback

    I am thinking out loud here - but if we take someone who expired on March 1 they have been extended for exactly 6 months on Sept 1. I'm thinking that's long enough. We have one or two online tournaments every weekend, and I know that's not everybody's cup of tea, but we need to start getting income coming back in. As it is, if you expired on June 1 you will be extended to Dec 1, if we start collecting again on Sept 1. OTB chess is resuming at Thanksgiving in the Maritimes, and I think once parents are used to children going back to school - they will be OK with them resuming OTB chess activities.

    Sounds reasonable to me.

    To me as well, although to be fair I'd like an extension on my life membership also

    You might see a big September drop though, waiting until October when there actually are OTB events might be an idea.

    If we had that power of extending life memberships, I think there should be a bonus of 20 years tacked on though that might get me accused of self-dealing.

    The new NFP law really gets in the way sometimes, doesn't it?

    If you want to pass gas you need to give three weeks notice.

    It always looks bad when a non-profit looses a lot of members. We should extend membership until normal in person chess competitions resume.

    I think that is our plan. This year is going to very bad by the numbers.

    This year is going to be very bad for many non-profits in Canada.

    We are in a worse situation because DGT confirmed that DGT boards and clocks should not be cleaned with alcohol based sanitizer.
