Past Due Notification - Mycological Society of San Francisco

Dear Fellow Mushroom Enthusiast,

Thank you for your membership with the Mycological Society of San Francisco.     2012 FF image
According to our records, your membership has not been renewed yet.

MSSF had a well-attended Fungus Fair in December 2023.
We resumed in-person general meetings at the Randall Museum in Fall of 2023. We will have a Zoom option as well.

There have been some organized forays this year. Many members have been out in the woods on their own, resulting in interesting finds.

The Culinary Group has held themed, organized, team-produced dinners. Attendance has been strong at the Culinary Dinners; people have enjoyed themselves. As usual, the food has been amazing! We are a group that enjoys food - the summer potluck picnic at Paradise Beach in Tiburon included delicious contributions from the attendees.

You might wonder what your dues are used for... Speakers are paid for their presentations - that is true whether they are virtual (via Zoom), or in-person. When we hold events, like the summer picnic, the club pays to rent a space for that event. We rent a storage unit for Culinary group equipment, the Fungus Fair materials and equipment, and supplies for other educational events. The storage unit also holds the MSSF library - hundreds of books that are available for members to check-out. Our groups.io account for the member-talk group, is a paid subscription service, our Zoom account is a paid account type, we pay for our web hosting and member database system. There are banking fees, insurance, and so on.


From Spring 2020 to Fall 2022, during the peak of the Covid pandemic, we did not drop members, but at this point, people with unpaid dues for the current period will be dropped from both the MSSF current member database, and from the groups.io member-talk group. Our income comes nearly entirely from two sources, the Fungus Fair and from membership dues. If it is not a hardship for you, payment of unpaid membership dues from prior years would be appreciated. If your budget doesn't allow it, please pay the newest invoice and contact to request that any older, unpaid invoices be voided.
