Member Non-Renewals 
As a means of keeping our members informed about membership changes not only will we be providing you with a list of members who have discontinued their membership following action from the monthly board meeting, as we have done in the past, but we will also be providing you with a list of members who HAVE renewed their membership for another year! Please note the renewal lists during the first quarter of the year will be lengthy, but we view this as a good problem to have.
Provided today are those who discontinued membership between January 26th and February 15th:
