  1. Take this to your computer and find your favorite browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.) and open it up.  In the URL or Address bar, type “greatermoundcity.org/login” and press Enter.

Forgot your password

Let me guess.  You don’t know your username or password, which is why you don’t log on, right?

  1. USERNAME: If your account was set for you, which is nearly everyone, it is your first name, then an underscore, then your last name.  For example, username is pat_morgan (or you can use your email address).
  2. PASSWORD: Let’s reset it now, and this time try to remember it, or else you will find yourself doing this step over and over.
    • From the login page, below the Login button, click on the “Forgot your password?” link.
    • You will go to the Password Reset page (Fig. 2).  Enter your username or email in the box.  You will receive an email with a link for you to reset your password (HINT: make it something you will remember).   Press the Reset password button.
    • You will then get this message telling you, “If an account matching the provided details exists, we will send a password reset link. Please check your inbox.”
    • Go to your email to open the mail from the GMCSC titled “Reset your password” and open it.
    • In the mail (Fig. 3), click on the Reset your password button.
    • Enter a new password you will remember.  Then reenter the new password and click on the Change password button, and you will be returned to the Login screen where you can enter your USERNAME and your new PASSWORD.
    • CONGRATS!!!  You now have access to all the member-only content on the website

What is Auction Bux

What is Auction Bux

Posted on by Pat Morgan

In order to help encourage the club member participation the club has a reward program we call Auction Bux.

Auction Bux are collected throughout the year from January to November and are recorded at each club meeting on each members personal Auction Bux sheet.

Bux are earned by:

  • Attending Club Meetings,
  • Presenting,
  • Writing Articles for the Newsletter (Perf-Dispatch),
  • Volunteering at STL Stamp Expo and Stampfest,
  • Participating in Philatelic Jeopardy at the Oct Club Meeting, and
  • Many others

Auction Bux Auction:

At the November Club Meeting a Special Auction is held where lots of interesting items are auctioned off. 

The Auction rules are like normal except that Auction Bux are frequently not equivalent for real dollars.  People seeing only 1 item they want may pay crazy amounts of Auction Bux to get it, some prearranged sharing or donating Bux to your friends can often throw wrinkles to your bidding strategy. 

The Auction is just for fun so be prepared for some craziness!
