Al,
    A tip for getting people to renew.  Send them an E-mail directly (no
CC list, only one address in the From line) with the SAC Membership
Services Form attached.

I did that about two or three years ago.  Most people ignored an earlier
message which had a bunch of addresses on the From list, but the second,
individual message got me a lot of replies.

This might be a lot of work for you (cut-n-pasting), but it will get
results.

You might do this after the February meeting.
