One question why does it come from Michigan? Kinda assumed it would be shipped from Ohio..
I think something to hand out instead if a membership card would pay dividends to the organization. Or make the membership id's printable to save money.

It should not come as a surprise to many that OFCC does business with numerous companies outside of Ohio. More than 90% of the items in our webstore are stored and fulfilled by a New York based company that embroidered our first shirts in 1999 and has grown with us since our inception. Our websites are hosted by companies headquartered in or using data centers in California, Texas, and Virginia to name a few.
The National Rifle Association is a New York based corporation, it's headquarters are in Virginia, yet their membership processing is a Palm Coast Florida address.
What's disheartening about that?TJW815 wrote:I find the following very disheartening.

I had the same problem when trying to edit my profile to use my new email address, never got it fixed so I just joined under my new email address.sabalo wrote:I have tried at least five times. It never mails me a new password. Any suggestions ?To see when your membership expires log in on the main OhioCCW.org webpage. If you are unsure of your password, select the forgot password link and a temporary one will be emailed to you. You can then log in and once you do it will take you to your dashboard that will show you your membership information.
This, exactly. Never really worried about my membership card, I treat it as more of a donation than a membership, which is why I also volunteer my time.Tweed Ring wrote:Conversely, I am indifferent to the vols timely/untimely/if ever/never issuance of membership cards, coins, computer totems, and the like. I donate to OFCC as the vols do a good job of lobbying the pols in our Ohio General Assembly.
To me, that's the important game.
And soon (once I confirm a few things with our credit card processor) we'll have a way for direct donations outside of a membership.JustaShooter wrote:This, exactly.

Donation to a good organization. Every hour the vols are involved with membership details/quandaries is an hour they are not involved in lobbying, or spending time with their families.JustaShooter wrote:This, exactly.

TR, I respect and appreciate your sentiment on this, and I know that there are many others that feel the same way. With that said, please rest assured that we have people in place to do most of the organizational tasks, other than the lobbying, and other work that goes on at the state house, and with the politicians.Tweed Ring wrote:Donation to a good organization.

While I understand why you would find it disheartening that we use out of state vendors, keep in mind that we are trying to be as cost effective as possible. The less money we spend on the day to day things, the more we have to put into the work we do in Ohio.TJW815 wrote:I find the following very disheartening.
