Thanks Leigh!

Karinn and I will work on consolidating the orders into a single page
which we can be fax to Mountain People's tomorrow morning. I have a
question though... Ed Bryant wants to order two cases of wine, but
I'm concerned that since we are working with a retail account, Art
Dogs would need a license to distribute alcohol... So, unless someone
can call around and confirm that this isn't a problem, I'm going to
leave the wine off the order fax, to avoid any possible liability.
Also, Karinn planned to send out a Group Money Request via PayPal last
night, but didn't have time. I volunteered to help with that, but the
more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that the proper time to
send out the group money request would be *after* the order arrives,
since I *still* have to go back and reconcile differences between the
April order payments and the actual Invoice totals (not to mention all
the splits that have not yet been settled up).
The main problem with collecting payments after the order arrives is
that Leigh takes a risk if anyone doesn't pay in a timely manner. It
would be ideal if we had enough capital in the Buying Club fund to pay
Leigh immediately when an order arrives, and then collect payments
from members as they get to PayPal (which could be over a week later).
Any comments or opinions on whether we should A) invoice now, B)
invoice later, or C) ask people to use the quick payment form now?
Thanks,
