and the motion passed. Respectfully submitted by Bunny Bolton

Club Membership
A Message from the Membership
Committee Chairman
Hello, my name is John Cook and I became membership committee chairman in June of 2023. I am aware the club has been a little slow recovering from “The Covid.” Amongst all this we have been complacent about keeping our members current with dues. Our accurate membership records are an important part of a club charter. These records are verification for club insurance liability coverage as well as providing credentials for Southeastern and American Federation affiliation. Only current AMLS members can participate in club and federation sponsored events for these reasons. If we do not have your renewal application for 2024 on file, you were sent an email last month asking if you wish to remain a member of AMLS.This is not a request for your renewal dues at this time, only to clean up our membership records. If you haven’t seen the email, or do not know if you are a current member, please email to thelapidaryclub@gmail.com with AMLS membership in the subject. Thank you for your cooperation in this and feel free to email any questions, comments or concerns about your club. Sincerely,
|
