A more polite reminder would be a postcard. The more I think about it the
more I'd prefer not to do it this way. Anyone who knows me know how I feel
about the whole PC issue, but like it or not it's here and it isn't going'
away anytime soon and we need to be mindful. I'll lay odds that someone
will get bent out of shape over this. I frankly do not wish to try to
straighten them out. It'll cost less than $20.00 to send out postcards. I'm
quite certain those who haven't renewed know it.
Put a friendly Generic reminder in the Meeting announcement & I'll do the
same for the NL.

If privacy from those outside the club is a concern, then how about list
just the last names (in a 8 x 6 grid). I'll have to add a note about name
collisions (there are at least two I know of).
FYI - the list of those who have renewed is now longer that those who
haven't (about 57%).
I feel that political correctness shouldn't cause incorrectness. :-)
Because of the name collisions, the inverse list would give the incorrect
impression to some that they don't need to renew. Also, doing this now is
just a polite reminder; while doing it next month would be considered
embarrassing to people who are then no longer members.
