How good is good enough?

An "impossible problem" solved, Evolution of a writing problem, How good is good enough?, Membership application problem, SACC, Spiritual Awareness Community of the Cascades

I’ve been working on various things for the Spiritual Awareness Community of the Cascades for a couple of months. I was given the task or rewriting the membership application form, but my attempts at writing one based on the previous one that had been used for a long time were totally unacceptable to me. There were too many demands for unattainable promises to be kept. I did my best to ameliorate those problems, but I couldn’t do it and still remain true to the people whom I am supposed to be representing and the possible new members who would be required to sign the document.

I solved my problem by including a short quote from the legal document required for our group’s non-profit status that satisfied my needs for accuracy. Fortunately, it was sufficiently noncommittal about the demands on our membership to be reasonable. 

I then attached that quote from our legal document to the bottom of the text of our standard folder, which includes a statement about our goals and which is passed out at every meeting, and then added the identification statement at the bottom –

Become a voting member
Name _
Signature _             Date _
email_                    Phone_

I think this will be acceptable to everyone and won’t alienate potential members with impossible demands.
