Treasurer’s report November 2014: SOME CHAPTER MEMBERSHIP FACTS

Interested persons are able to join our AGO chapter at any time by visiting our excellent website www.northshoreago.org or the national website at www.agohq.org   This year’s dues cover the period from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015.  The new national ONCARD system is naturally experiencing a few growing pains and some challenges for those of us who are rather shy around computers.  Therefore, it can only be stated that dues paying members of our chapter currently seem to number 78.  About 12 members from the 2013-2014 season have not yet renewed and efforts have been made to contact them.  Happily, we seem to have about 6 new members or valued members from previous years. About 25 North Shore members fit the category of dual members, most commonly with our neighboring Chicago Chapter.  We always hope to see more of our substantial membership at chapter events.
