Help the club! Get your dues in early!

March 8th, 2007

The Early Bird club dues deadline is Thursday, March 15, one week from today! If all the club members get their dues in by the end of Wednesday’s meeting, we’ll be eligible for the Early Bird award from the district.

It may not seem like much, but these recognitions help raise the profile of the club. While we should all be proud of Redwood Ramblers, it would be nice to have our pride recognized at a higher level in the organization.

Help the club! Bring your dues to the meeting on March 14, or contact John Cowan to arrange payment!
