2014 MEMBERSHIP CHANGES
MAY 6, 2014
Dear Valued NCNMLG Members:
Membership renewal time is rapidly approaching and there are several changes that need to be highlighted. In 2013 members were surveyed and 75% agreed that dues should be increased from $25 dollars to $35 dollars per year. With Board approval this dues increase takes effect on June 1st 2014.
This slight increase provides needed funds and establishes parity with the fee structure of adjacent MLA Chapters. The credit card pay option has been adjusted to reflect this change. If you pay by check please remember to increase the amount to $35.
Please be aware that our organizational address has also changed. Dues Payments need to be addressed to:
NCNMLG MEMBERSHIP
P O BOX 64099
SUNNYVALE, CA. 94088
(For other correspondence please use the above address and include the Committee Name or Person you wish to contact. This will greatly facilitate getting your message to the proper person in a timely manner).
Please make every effort to pay promptly as this greatly facilitates our ability to plan and execute programs efficiently. Thank you for attending to these organizational changes. We greatly value your Membership.
Sincerely,
Mike Liddicoat
NCNMLG MEMBERSHIP CHAIR
