Noting on facebook (or should I say META) on it either

I am sure you could call him to find out

I just saw that Rick posted this on FB (Oh, I guess it's Meta now. :confused:)

Hello, we've been holding off about the Christmas party because we just weren't sure about things, but it's ON! Puritan Back room Dec. 4th 6pm till 11pm, $25 per person, we will do the Yankee swap so bring one item wrapped per person that wants to play, also Toys for Tots if you'd like bring an unwrapped guft to donate,

Please let us know if you are coming and how many people, by the 24th of November, It's been so long since some of us have seen each other let's get a bunch of us out for some good food and drinks!

[390gtconv]

Yup. Rick sent me a text last night.
I'll pass along to brother in-law.

[390gtconv]

All signed up with Rick for club xmas party. Good food

[390gtconv]

As usual, NHMC xmas party was a good time. Good laughs & good food. Diecast cars still popular for Santa swap.
Not huge turnout but good.

Rick mentioned that starting in January club will rest clock on EVERYONES memberships. Going forward club dues will be due if you're gonna be a "NHMC member". Talked about issuing membership card as in the past.
Also working on future show sites with other clubs. More on it all in Feb pizza party.

Thanks for posting that info here George!

When you say Rick was gonna rest clock on Everyone's memberships what do you mean. And as far as club dues will be due if you're gonna be a NHMC member, it would help if they actually cashed the checks after asking them several times. At the final season cruise night, I mentioned to Rick & Marie that it was six months and my check hadn't been cashed. Rick said something about changing banks and I asked him what to do he said to wait to next year.

[ToplessPony94]

Yes, my check from last year has also never been cashed.

[390gtconv]

Rick said dropping club TD Bank because they told Rick they don't recognize NHMC as a legal business and now wanna charge club for things. Only reason Maria like them was close to her house.
I mentioned DCU Bank. My son and I use them. Easy to work with, reasonable. And for Maria, couple miles down the road for AutoFair on South Willow. They're gonna check into it.
As for ANY checks written last year, cross them off. Rick said NOT gonna get cashed.
So in January EVERYONE will be due.
Hope this clears thing up. see I was paying attention at party. lol

Does anyone know if the club is registered with the State? I looked up the name and nothing came up. That could be the bank problem. Unless they can show they are a legit "non profit" they may have problems with other banks too. As for TD Bank, I can tell you from experience, I would never recommend that bank for anything but being dissolved. I got hacked lost over $6000 in my business account, and, TD told me that they're investigation showed it was a legit withdrawal and refused to put the money back. So, run as fast as you can from that bank

[ToplessPony94]

I can vouch for DCU also. I've been a member for almost 40 years. When Citizens Bank pulled the same thing and wanted to levy all kinds of charges on Project Fallen Hero accounts, I moved them all 1/2 mile down the road to DCU and never got any hassles about anything. They're good folks!

[marinedad]

Yea, I wish DCU was a lot closer to Derry than Manchester & Hudson. I know people that have been there for a long time and love the bank.

[ToplessPony94]

FWIW, even though I live only a few miles from the Hudson and Tyngsborough branches, I rarely have any need to go to DCU in person. I have direct deposit, I use their free online bill paying, and their smart phone app allows deposits of checks via the phone's camera. In the past year I've only gone to a DCU branch twice and both times it was to use their notary services. Think about it - maybe that works for you too.

[marinedad]

I will think about it, and, you're right I use the same features at my local bank.
