HOW TO: Keeping Track of Visitors

There are only two requirements to keeping membership in NotTooHot. One is to respect others and the other is to visit the Club at least one time each month. This note describes how Riddle and I manage the visiting requirement.

If you go to the Club's Landing Point at the gate, then proceed down the steps, you will see the area where we keep the equipment for controlling the dance balls and a visitor counter. Here is a picture of the visitor counter:



The visitor counter not only counts the number of unique visitors during one day and the total visitors starting on January 17, 2014, but it also sends me a listing of the names of the visitors. Each day I get an IM and email with the SL name of each visitor to the Club. I put the daily list in a spreadsheet containing all the names of Club members and compare the lists once a month. If a person has not been at the Club during the month, the name will have 0 visits.

Each month near the beginning of the month I will send a reminder note card to Club Members who have not visited. The note card will let the member know of the need to visit the club once a month. If the member does not contact me and a second month goes by with no visits, I will remove the member from the Club and offer the space to the next person on the waiting list if we have reached our 500 member limit. I will also send a note card to the person removed.

The idea behind this approach is to make the Club one that is important to members. If members care about the Club, they will visit. If they don't, they should not take a place of someone who would enjoy the Club and participate.

If you receive  note card for not visiting and want to remain a member, but have a reason why you cannot visit, let me know.
