Do you remember what year that was? I was late and I remember getting a letter from the membership person asking me if I could find it in my heart to reapply and send them another check. I was so mad that I didn't renew my membership forr a year or 2. Talk about silly decisions some make. Terry ELG440@xxxxxxx wrote: No that was a big deal the year I was on the board. If your membership lapses, you are not to be considered a continuous member. The president at the board meeting claimed that Pearl and Dick Whalen hadn't sent in the membership on time. Pearl showed her check book and was considered timely; Dick had a note from his post office about delivery of his mail. He was rejected, (or his excuse was) and his membership was broken. I thought the whole thing was mean spirited and said so. I believe if you miss a year or even two or three, you should be allowed to pay the dues and be continuous. That would be a nice thing to do, and maybe one of our current board members could suggest it. Not that there would be anything wrong with that.
