A MESSAGE FROM OUR MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE
If your label reads “THIS IS YOUR LAST BADGER”, it means that your membership expires before the next issue of the Badger
  Since not all memberships expire in December, please look at your membership card to determine your membership expiration date.  Since we used bulk mail for the December Badger to save money on postage, every issue has a dues envelope.  So please check your label since some members pay their dues up to 3 years at a time.

The new bylaws state that any member whose dues are more than 30 days past due will be removed from the roster so please mail your dues today.  If you are an active duty member, you need to confirm your mailing address and active duty status with me so that you can receive your new membership card.  Last year several Badgers were returned to me because several active duty members either retired and moved or got orders and failed to notify me of the change.

If you do not notify me or leave a forwarding address with the post office, your Badger will be returned to me as undeliverable and you will be removed from the mailing list since we cannot keep sending mail out that is returned.

Any question contact   bb64members@aol.com
