Membership
Anyone can be a
member of MISFITS. Voting membership is obtained by completing
the following:
- 20 hours total of
volunteer time
- Only 5 hours can be
obtained during the CONvergence convention weekend.
- CONvergence convention
volunteer hours done OUTSIDE of the convention weekend are
included in Volunteer hour totals
- Must attend at LEAST 2
membership meetings, 1 of which MUST be the voting meeting.
A membership meeting would be A MISFITS staff meeting, a
MISFITS Open Meeting, or a CONvergence ConCom meeting.
MISFITS or CONvergence Divisional, Departmental, or
sub-committee meeting do not count for that total. Attending
an event or club gathering does not count towards volunteer
hours, however, running an event or hosting a club gathering
do count.
- All CONvergence Convention
Commitee Members are automatically MISFITS voting members
(since they fulfill the hour requirement due to their duties)
BUT they also must attend the 2 meetings (one of them being
the voting meeting).
Among the items that MISFITS
members are called to vote upon is the election of the Board of
Directors (5 MISFITS directors and 7 CONvergence directors).
You can either mail us a member
form, give it to a coordinator at one of our events,
or send us the information by electronic mail to
info@misfit.org with your full name, street address,
phone number. Let us know what your fan interests are -- do you
like role playing, art, filking, comics, anime, animation,
literature, costuming, or anything else? What are your favorite
books, TV series and movies?
Also, include what sorts of
activities you want to help MISFITS out with -- fund raising,
helping to run one of our various events, or any of the other
needs we have on out
help wanted
page -- we really need to hear from you if you are
interested in volunteering and becoming a voting member -- our
events don't require you to be a voting member to attend.
You can mail us at:
MISFITS
1437 Marshall Avenue, Suite 203
St. Paul, MN 55104

Club
Expectations
In an effort to help insure
that MISFITS continues to meet the criteria established by the
State of Minnesota for a non profit, the MISFITS directors have
established some minimum club expectations.
Please be aware that these
expectations can and will change based upon the needs of the
organization and the requirements of the State of Minnesota.
- Recruit new
members to the club.
Are we looking for a "magic number" of new people each year?
No. The intent is that the club is making an effort to
attract new members.
- Advertise club
meetings.
Just that. Publish something showing your meeting date(s),
times(s) and location(s) along with who to contact for
questions and how to reach them. This can be done with a
simple listing on the MISFITS web site. If you have other
sources, those would be fine too. It would be helpful if you
included a short description of the club and its activities.
- Attend a minimum
of ONE Open meeting and ONE Staff meeting per year.
The person attending the Open/Staff meeting can be either
the club leader/facilitator or a current club member.
- Volunteer a
minimum of ONE hour at the MISFITS room party at CONvergence.
The volunteer can be either the club
leader/facilitator or a current club member. If your club
wants to volunteer more than one hour or more than on
person, great!!! We would love to see you all at the Room
Party.
If you have any questions or
concerns about these expectations, please, contact one of the
MISFITS directors.
