Hi Barb, I received nothing reminding me to renew my membership to the Germanna Foundation. I wonder how many others are in the same situation. Do memberships expire the end of June or just when? I think it is $20, but could you just post the address to which it is to mailed. I don't know if this type of thing is allowed by rootsweb, but I did see the discussion of the price of a book and how to get it. What is the thing that Virginia Nuta is editing. What is the news regarding future Germanna Tours to Germany? Cary

The recent newsletter sent to all existing members has a reminder on the mailing label - it shows your current membership expiration date on the upper right. Maybe the Foundation can establish a reminder via email for those members who provide email addresses? Individual reminder mailings are so costly.

I guess I have expired, because I have not received a recnt newsletter. We [my local genealogical society] use a post card system and it brings in over 50 per cent of our delinquents. That's $about $7.75 profit for our genealogical society. Or we sometimes just add a notice and send a freebie. Postal rates are crazy. If we mail 200 copies of our quarterly it is cheaper using our special price, than mailing 130 to just the members who have renewed. So in the long-run, trying to save pennies, organizations loose dollars. There are several societies which I have been lasped for several years. If I had received a renewal notice, I'd probably still belong. Remember we oldies have a lot stored in our built in computer with which we were born. Then if we are active, things slide under piles, etc, ad nauseum. :>) Cary ---- "Kathleen B.
