WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU DID NOT RECEIVE YOUR AUGUST BADGER?

CHECK THE FOLLOWING TO SEE IF YOU ARE ON THE LIST.

There have been several issues of the Badger returned due to either change of address or temporarily away notations.  Please remember to contact LaDonna at bb64members@aol.com if you change your address or are going to be away so that your Badger will not be returned since this causes increased costs for the association.  Those members who have an email address were emailed and 2 emails were returned to me.

The following members August Badgers were returned to me and they will be removed from the Badger mailing list until you contact me to confirm your correct address:

William Bird

Jack Culp
