Membership
107 members renewed, 31 didn’t. About the same count as last year at this time.The members who didn't renew either moved away, not interested anymore or didn't participate and never got back to me.
The only thing I still want to do is reach out to members not in the Facebook members only group and see if they are interested in joining. If you use Facebook and aren’t a member of our group yet - you can request to join us. Lots of good information is posted.
