If you haven’t sent in your dues for 2008, please do so before you forget.  You will receive a $3.00 discount off the $25.00 annual dues only if you pay by December 31st.

If you want a copy of the 2008 bound volume of The Specialist, pay for it now along with your dues.  It will be mailed to you in the Spring of 2009.  Lastly, don’t forget to send your free classified word ads directly to Leonard Piszkiewicz, the Editor of The Specialist.

The Society has a Hardship Fund for those who are unable to pay their annual dues because of a job lay-off or any other hardships.  If you find yourself in one of these situations, let me know and I will arrange for your dues to be paid for 2008.  We don’t want to lose any members because of unfortunate circumstances beyond their control.
