If you haven’t already, now is the time to renew your chapter membership!  As of August 20th, fifty-seven colleagues have successfully managed the new national ONCARD system (On-Line National Collection and Retrieval of Dues).  More than $2500 has already been credited to our chapter’s bank account.  But, according to recent history, we’re still eagerly awaiting action from thirty-five 2013-2014 members.  It’s easy to renew!  Go to the chapter’s website at www.northshoreago.org and apply your mouse.  After following all of the simple directions, you can, if you wish, print out the invoice and send a check to the national office.

he North Shore Chapter is especially happy (as of August 20th) to welcome five new members–some returning after an absence.  We’ll eagerly greet them at our September 21st chapter meeting and at subsequent events.  A Hearty Welcome!
