I would like to ask for your assistance in checking your membership lists carefully for missing members, address corrections, or other changes which need to be made. You may contact either Rudy or me about any needed changes or corrections. Please provide me with a copy of any changes you may send to Rudy directly, as I need to update my records also.

PLEASE REMEMBER any chapter may obtain a membership grant of up to $50 for membership recruitment. To receive a grant for your chapter, contact me at (601) 853-5487 or email to LMWisteria@aol.com

MEMBERSHIP AWARDS FOR 2001 will be determined by using the July 2000 to July 2001 printouts.

I appreciate the opportunity to serve as NADE Membership Director and will do my best to provide the resources needed for membership recruitment and retention for the upcoming 2000-2001 year. If you have questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me.
