Rolling or Annual Memberships?

Kathryn Hollinger of Genesee Valley Arts Council on the Arts posted this query to the Rurals list serve.  It's generated lots of ideas from the list serve, but posting it here on our blog should solicit more ideas from a wider field..  Martha

We are thinking about changing from rolling membership to annual membership. I am on the fence, because, of course, it’s nice to get money year round.  But it’s a lot of work sending those letters every month and the real problem is that folks get 6 or more months behind, renew and then we have our hands out again when they think that they just renewed.

What do you all do and what do you do about meeting your taillights coming around the corner?

Thanks and Yahoo about restored funding.
