Usually by this time of year if 2020 the $10 dues had not paid, those non-paid members would have been “inactivated” on our membership roster. Since we have not been able to access our data base, everyone is receiving the May/June issue. However, your dues are still due if you have not paid for 2020. Its best if you mail them to 1089 So. Patrick Dr., Satellite Beach, Fl.  32937, as postal mail is still being received at this address.

Remember, most members that have email are now receiving the newsletter that way though MailChimp’s secure server.
