Press ReleasesCONJOSÉ, THE 60TH WORLD SCIENCE FICTION CONVENTION San Francisco Science Fiction Conventions, Inc. A California Non-Profit Corporation PO Box 61363 Sunnyvale CA 94088-1363 USA ConJosé's Installment Plan The costs to attend a worldcon keep going up and up as we, the convention planners, have to pay more for facilities and other things necessary to give you the best possible worldcon experience. In order to offset this, and to put worldcon attendance within the reach of more people, ConJosé is instituting a method by which you can pay for your membership on the installment plan. We've tried to make it as easy as possible for all of us. 1. Buy a supporting membership in ConJosé and declare your intention to purchase an installment membership. The supporting membership is $35 and will remain so right up until the convention. Your balance will be the difference between the supporting membership and what an attending membership cost AT THE TIME YOU BOUGHT THE SUPPORTING MEMBERSHIP. If worst comes to worst, and you can't pay the difference, you will still get all publications and the right to nominate and vote on the Hugo Awards and in site selection. 1a. People who already have a supporting membership at the time of this announcement have until September 15, 2000 to declare their intent to use an Installment Plan. The amount you owe will be based on the amount of a full attending membership at the time of declaration. 2. Pay a minimum of 20 dollars per quarter to keep your Installment Plan alive. With all the other things we have to do, we can't send out reminders to everyone so this will be your responsibility. We will try to post reminders in many of the online foray where fans hang out as well as in our written publications. We will also give you a schedule of recommended payment times and amounts at the time you institute your installment plan. 3. Mark your payment clearly as an Installment Payment. Write it on the check and mention it in any correspondence you may enclose. If you make the payment in cash or by check at our table at a con, make sure the person at the table writes "Installment Payment" on the receipt. 4. Make sure you have the full difference paid by the time we set as cutoff for mail memberships. We will not be able to accept installment plan payments at the door. If you are unable to make your payments regularly, we will refund whatever you have paid over the supporting membership price, less 10% of the amount paid above the supporting fee, leaving you as a supporting member. You will be able to upgrade from supporting to attending member at the door should a miracle happen and you find the money to attend at the last minute. The upgrade would be the difference between the supporting membership and the at the door price, as is standard. If you have questions, you can contact our registration department at reg@conjose.org . We hope this helps more people attend what we are sure will be one of the new century's best worldcons!
