A quick note on:
Payments are due by the first of the month.  Unless you take a vacation or make some changes to your box size, the amount due is the same every month.  An account sheet is available at the pickup site each week stapled to the sign off form, which will let you know your account balance.  Statements are being e-mailed automatically once a month, but due to faulty design in the accounting software not everyone has been able to download them successfully.  You can view them from a PC if your virus protection happens not to change the extremely sensitive file.  Please rely on the sheet at the pickup site and understand Valerie can't e-mail  statements by individual request.    Many of our members prefer to use Online Bill Payment services through their own bank, but start up payments need to accompany a sign up sheet so I'll be able to create an account.

Vacations:  We're growing the veggies for you based on a monthly subscription, and the credits for vacations are proportionately small.  This reflects the cost to us of the unused produce, and we are hoping to discourage overuse of vacations.  Vacations are credited as $10 for Small, $16 for Medium, $21 for Large.
Upgrades/Downgrades:If you'd like to try another size box, you're welcome to switch for a week.  This can't be a contstant adjusting of  size boxes because it is time consuming for us and troublematic, but for a one or two time trial please allow us to arrange a trial box for you .  Upgrades  are  $9 per increment.  To go from Small to Large is $18, or reverse is an $18 credit.  You may just add or deduct from your next payment due.
