It was a pleasure to see so many of you attend the last chapter meeting on March 20th. Many new faces were in evidence and I hope you will encourage those friends of yours who may have attended the meeting with you to join our club. We need lots of help for the 1979 Rendezvous, so please help when asked and help spread around the burden so that no one person gets too overloaded with work, etc.
Secondly, it is most IMPERATIVE that all members quickly remit their 1979 dues. There has been a mixup on where to send the dues, etc. Here is what should be done. Please fill out the form you received early this winter with all the current information requested thereon and send with a check to cover both local as well as national dues to the New York address of the Association. In years past, I collected local dues here while nationals were sent in. This is no longer true as the club officials and board decided all funds would be collected by the National organization and they would send us checks for the local dues as they come in.
As of 4/4/79, when this was written, we have only 64 out of a possible 115 plus members who have all their dues paid. Some of you paid national dues but not your local ones; you know who you are also, so get them sent in as quickly as possible. We have been warned by the National Secretary that those whos dues are not paid within the next several weeks, will not be listed in the new 1979 National Directory as they will also not appear in the Land-O-Lakes Directory also. We need everyones cooperation in this matter as our club is going to become short on funds for upcoming projects if we all dont pitch in and get those dues paid.
In closing, for this time, I am sorry I only can harp on dues all the time, but right now that is our most demanding subject to take care of. May you all have a fine spring and I look forward to seeing all of you at our next meeting.
