Membership Program – Don Srail –

Back to Top

 

The last Life membership number used was LM00128 so the next Life Member should receive the new number LM00129.  The last supporting life membership number was LSM00002 so the next number is LSM00003.  The only cards that have been laminated in the past are Life memberships and Life Supporting members since they are forever, the other cards are just done and sent without laminate since they have to be replaced yearly.

 

The free graduate memberships are just listed as graduate membership good for the year they are at the ABRC unless it is after October 1st then we always made their year for the next year.  We only hand printed the names in these.

 

The annual membership is listed as current member or CM1-current year, if they are paying the second year of annual membership toward life they are listed as CM2-current year (ex:  CM2-2007)

 

The supporting members are listed as SM-current year and is only good till 12/31.

 

I will be sending this in a couple installments since their are so many attachments.

 

If you have any further questions, please contact us.  All of this stuff is just things we used feel free to do with them as you please.  You can change to suit yourself.
