2010 yearly SEUSKF membership dues.

[Jonathan Anderson]

All,

Just a reminder that yearly membership dues to SEUSKF are due to be paid to the SEUSKF Treasurer by March 1st. There is still time, obviously, but for those of you that are planning on being paid members for this year, you need to get your dues to me as soon as is financially feasible for you. The cost is $60 for adults, $40 for ages 17 and younger. Bear in mind, this is mandatory if you wish to test for promotion in either art this year, as well as being mandatory if you wish to don bogu for Kendo, or practice with an Iaito for Iaido. Further, some seminars offer a reduced price for federation members.

Obviously, if you've already given me your dues money, you may safely disregard this.

Friendly reminder:
Anyone wishing to be a paid SEUSKF member MUST give their membership dues to me by next weekend (Feb 13-14) as I will be drawing the check to send to the SEUSKF Treasurer on Monday, Feb 15th.

On a side note, we have 7 members thus far - nearly double the numbers we had last year!

All,

The membership dues check went out yesterday, so we should be all set. If all goes as it did last year, I'll have SEUSKF membership cards for everyone soon.

Of particularly interesting note (to me, anyway) is the numbers this year, compared to last year:

Total SEUSKF members from our group in 2009 - 5

Total SEUSKF members from our group in 2010 - 10

On the surface, this would suggest that we've doubled our membership; but it should be pointed out that we lost two of the five from 2009, so rather than gaining five new members, we've actually gained seven - this is a trend I'll do everything I know how to continue. Further, let me take this as a moment to thank each of you for your continuing support. The success of the club reflects your hard work as much as, possibly more than, mine.
