Membership Update
We have set a record during 2009 for the number of members who are at Patron level or higher. Currently, there are 266 members who have joined at the Patron level or above. In 2008, we set a record with 234.
Our appeal for donations to the building repair, landscape, and genealogy funds has been successful. To date, over $2300 has been contributed from over 100 members who added something extra with their membership contributions.
One less encouraging note is that we have 893 new and renewing members at this time versus 910 at the same time last year. We have a lower number of first-time members and a small lag in renewals.
A note of thanks is given to many of our members who help recruit new members.
