Our bank account grew by $52 this month from renewals sent to us from the National office, providing us with a balance of $48,320.44.
I expect that many of you have received your renewal notices and that many of you will be processing your payment in the next few weeks. Note that it is also possible to make a contribution to the chapter when renewing your membership online. Your contributions are tax deductible, and are categorized Great, Swell, or Positiv, depending on amount. Your contribution enables us to bring quality programming to you, and will be noted in our programs and treasurer’s corner in coming months. Please also note that it is now also possible to make a contribution to our chapter scholarship fund through ONCARD when you renew your membership. Please feel free to reach out to me at treasurer@northshoreago.org with any issues or concerns you may have.
Remember that up until a year ago, there was a fixed membership calendar. No matter when you joined, the “year” ended in June. Now with a flexible calendar, folks are free to join at any point in time and renew 12 months later. So if you are not sure of your renewal month, check the label of your “The American Organist”.

Happy playing,
Laurie Stivers, treasurer
