This will help IVU and make the task of the Hon. General Secretary easier as well as saving unnecessary correspondence. We have been quite generous in not immediately removing from the circulation list those who have not paid. However, IVU cannot afford to continue such a practice since our resources are very limited. The membership subscription is quite small for most organizations to help those who struggle to pay anything.
Free membership is granted where an organization is unable to pay for some reason.
However, even those organizations need to re register annually if they are to continue to receive IVU communications. Please send your annual subscription now. Payment is due for 1996 and for 1995 if you have not paid it. Those receiving free membership at present should write in to confirm they are still unable to afford the annual subscription. If we do not hear by the beginning of May, we will have to assume that your organization no longer exists or that you do not wish to maintain contact with the international vegetarian movement.
