We’re Upgrading Our Membership Process!

The Lincoln County Mycological Society is excited to announce some significant updates to our membership system. We're enhancing efficiency and providing a better experience for all our members by moving from traditional paper record-keeping to a modern, online membership tracking and payment system using Zeffy.

What’s Changing?

1. Online Membership Management with Zeffy: Joining, renewing, and managing your membership is now easier and more accessible with Zeffy. As a low-cost nonprofit, this platform is especially beneficial for us, offering its services without any charge.

2. Flexible Membership Period: Your membership will now be valid for one year from the date of payment, moving away from the fixed January 1st renewal date.

3. Membership Fees:

   • Individual Membership: $10 per year.
   • Family Membership: $15 per year.

Advantages of the New System:

• Accurate and Current Roster: Ensures improved community engagement and connectivity.
• Consistent and Reliable Communication: Stay up-to-date with all our society’s news, events, and updates efficiently through Zeffy.
• Supporting Our Mission: Your membership fees, easily processed via Zeffy, are vital in supporting our initiatives and promoting mycology.

Recurring Payments and Donations: Not only does Zeffy support recurring payments for your convenience, but it also offers you the option to give additional one-time donations. This feature allows you to further contribute to our organization, should you wish to do so, supporting our ongoing projects and initiatives.

We believe these changes, including the new donation feature, will greatly enhance your experience with the Lincoln County Mycological Society, fostering a more connected and engaged community.

Existing members will receive detailed instructions on transitioning to the new Zeffy system. New members can sign up through our updated online system, and have the option of making additional donations, if they choose not to purchase a membership in person.
