A pleasant surprise

The other day there was a topic on the magazine, where I had posted a question as about it. This morning I finally checked my mail and was pleasantly surprised to find a magazine there. It was in pristine condition, even without a sleeve or envelope. This is the first time I've received one and I was extremely happy with it. It's definitely got a lot of great stuff in it. Thank you to those who answered my question about it. I only have one other question. When becoming a member, are you supposed to receive any type of membership card or papers?

Thanks again. Mark Garris

A welcome aboard package would leave a pleasant taste. The closest chapter should get an alert about a new member at least.

Mark,

Welcome to the ACMOC Club! In the past, we were distributing membership cards but recently we have had to make some cost cutting measures and I know those cards were under discussion. With my poor memory, I can't remember where we stand on those right now. They do have a cost and were included in the magazine once a year. We have also been experiencing self-imposed delays in getting our magazine out in a timely fashion so I believe that is why you did not hear anything for a while after you joined. At any time, please feel free to call Mary Clark at (309)-691-5002 in our Peoria office and she will do her very best to get you an answer to your questions. For that matter, contact information for those of us who administer the club is listed in the magazine now that you have one. Please feel free to make use of it. We like to hear from the membership.

Jan Meermans, Director, Chairman of the Magazine and Website Committee
