The new membership books and membership cards will be available at this September meeting and again at the October meeting - after that they will be mailed. Dick Lutz handled all this and also did the lettering on the cards. Please note that the cover is red, which is the same as our 2004-2005 book - so the best thing to do is throw or put away the ‘old’ book so that this new one is your primary. And we ask that everyone look to be sure all the information for you is correct; if not, let me (Joyce Madden) know and we will publish the change in the next newsletter.
