Please remember that membership fees will increase from $10 to $20 per year, beginning on January 1st. If your membership expires at the end of this year, you may renew now before the cost goes up. Also, don't forget that the newsletter is also available by email. By opting for the email newsletter, you'll receive all of the same information that you do in the paper newsletter, but typically you'll receive this information almost a week earlier than other members. Go to http://wmshp.net/address to change how you would like to receive your newsletter. If you need help, please contact me at (616) 656-2457 or webmaster@wmshp.net. Posted: Monday, August 29, 2005
As Jean mentioned in the President’s Corner, we “jumped the gun” when we announced an increase in our membership dues last month. The dues increase will not take place until next January. However, a few of our members had already paid $20 for their 2005 dues. For these members, I have credited an extra year of membership to their accounts. If you paid the higher rate for dues and would rather have your $10 refunded back to you, please contact me at (616) 656-2457 or webmaster@wmshp.net. In the meantime, I would encourage members to help WMSHP by signing up for our email newsletter. Roughly $500 each year goes toward postage for the paper newsletters; not to mention the considerable effort needed to print and assemble them every month. The email newsletter contains all of the same information as the paper version, and is typically delivered a few days earlier. If you’d like to sign up for the email newsletter, go to wmshp.net/address (all lower-case letters) and sign-in with the Member Code on your mailing label. Then, change the “Contact Via” section below your name to “Email”. Please note that you will still have items like our Annual Spring Seminar brochure mailed to your home, and you may go back to receiving the paper newsletters at any time. Also, we will never give your email address to anyone else. If you have questions, or are unable to sign up for the email newsletter online, you may contact me at (616) 656-2457 or webmaster@wmshp.net. Thanks, and I hope to see you at our upcoming events.

Please note that unpaid membership dues must be paid by March 1st in order to continue membership with WMSHP. Beginning with next month’s newsletter, we will not be including the membership renewal form with your monthly mailing. After that time, the renewal form can be downloaded at our website, WMSHP.net. Check the mailing label on your newsletter to see when your membership expires. If you receive your newsletter via email, you may request this information by sending an email to webmaster@wmshp.net.

Please note that if you haven't paid your annual dues by March 31st, your name will be removed from our mailing list and you will no longer receive notification of upcoming meetings. Check the mailing label on your newsletter to see if your membership is up to date. See you at the next meeting! Posted: Friday, February 27, 2004
