Becoming a Member of an established
Online Club

The first step to becoming a member of an On-line Club is to
contact:

Patricia Poulin, Region 16 Director
pkpoulin@sympatico.ca

When you express an interest in becoming a member of an established online club, your name is forwarded to the Online Club Coordinator, and copied to the Membership Chair. The Coordinator contacts the current president or membership chair of the online club/s to see if there is space for new members. The prospective member is then contacted by the on-line club, and invited to attend a meeting. Once contact has been initiated, the online club appraises the prospective member of individual club requirements,fees, meeting places and times and other pertinent facts. Preliminary meetings between interested parties may take place in the UFDC Chat Room .

The UFDC Doll Chat Room lets members and prospective members exchange information and pictures of their collections when they meet. The Chat Room permits the posting of pictures during meetings, using the following format: <img src="http://address of picture"> Remember to keep the picture size as small as possible to avoid taking up too much room on the page. A pixel width of no more than 200 works quickly and well.

Forming a New Online Club

The first step to forming an Online Club is to contact:

Patricia Poulin , Director of Region 16

Forming an online club follows the same general procedures as those pertaining to a traditional club. The Director of Region 16 responds to queries with UFDC information, an application for membership and a copy of the Standard Online Club By-laws. The Online Club Coordinator works closely with the individuals during this period, helping determine bylaws, meeting times, place, schedule, goals, etceteras.

During this period the prospective club members may meet in the UFDC Chat Room . The Chat Room on this site allows members to post pictures using the following format: <img src="http://address of picture"> Remember to keep the picture size as small as possible to avoid taking up too much room on the page. You might wish to go to the Online Club Chat Room, and play......or have preliminary meetings with friends or prospective club members. You are welcome to use this site as your meeting place. If you will e-mail me I will be happy to post meeting times for you.

When the club has a minimum of 10 members and has been organized for a trial period, it may apply for membership by submitting a club membership application, required roster and fees, and Standard Online Club By-laws. The application is submitted to the Director of Region 16 who then sends it to the Director of Membership for presentation to the Board for approval. If an individual expresses interest in forming an On-line Club but is not a member of a group, the Online Club Coordinator will refer individuals to each other so that they may begin to form a group. The group may use the Online Chat Room on this site for meetings. The Online Club Coordinator works closely with the Director of Region 16 to inform the group of the requirements of membership in UFDC and provides guidance to the club if requested. When the group reaches the 10 member requirement and has been organized for a trial period, the club may submit its application for membership, required roster and fees, and Standard Online Club By-laws to the Director of Region 16 who then sends it to the Director of Membership for presentation to the Board for approval.
