The February edition of the Bunker Family Association's newsletter--The Bunker Banner--is in its final states of preparation for distribution. Many of the subscribers to this e-mail list are members of the BFA, and many are not (we of course encourage those interested in Bunker genealogy to join). This is an update on our membership status. BFA members who have not paid dues since before the BFA 2012 fiscal year will not be receiving the May issue of the Bunker Banner unless immediate action is taken to renew membership. You will receive an immediate action needed notice shortly from the BFA Treasurer Lowell Bunker ( [email protected]). Members who paid 2013 dues but have not renewed will be dropped from the membership rolls at the end of the current BFA fiscal year; they will receive the May Banner but not the summer issue. If you need to check on your membership status, you can do so by e-mail to Lowell Bunker. We are still committed to helping with your genealogy questions but we need support from all our members. If you are removed from the membership list, we hope you will consider rejoining. It’s easy to join the Bunker Family Association. We’re recognized as a tax-exempt organization; contributions qualify as charitable donations under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code. Membership in the Bunker Family Association is open to Bunkers and those descended from Bunkers. The annual membership cost for new members is $25 ($30 in Canada; $35 other countries. New members may register a second member under our “2 for 1″ membership plan for the same rates ($25-35). Life memberships are $300-$500. Membership includes a subscription to the quarterly Bunker Banner. This informative, multipage newsletter is published in February, May, August and November of each year. Members electing an electronic distribution of the Banner pay only $20 in annual dues. If you are interested in joining, you can use the link below to download the membership application below. This is a fillable PDF file (you will need Acrobat Reader or equivalent to complete it). You can save the file after completing, and attach to an e-mail message sent to: [email protected], with a subject line “Membership Info.” Alternatively, you can save, complete, print and mail to the address listed on the form. If you send the application electronically as an attachment, the form will be forwarded to Treasurer Lowell Bunker, and an invoice for your dues payment will be sent. Or you can act more quickly and send your dues payment to: Bunker Family Association c/o Lowell K.
