He lives in Gilmanton with his wife Muriel and two children, with a third bundle of joy expected in October. At time of publication, the NHGS had 94 members, paid through August 1994, and two Honorary Fellows. This is a substantial drop from the previous membership count of more than 150 members. This is likely due to the failure of many former members to renew their membership. Of course, the many benefits of membership in the NHGS, such as the Granite State Geologist, reduced rates at meetings and field trips, a copy of and a listing in the Membership Directory, are available only to those who are members in good standing.
Past experience suggests that many members pay their renewal fee at the Annual meeting itself.
This is important, as only members in good standing are eligible to participate in the election of officers. In addition to renewing your membership, please be sure to keep us updated regarding any changes in your address, so that you will continue to enjoy the benefits of membership. The Society does continue to attract new members, and we have begun a campaign of including a membership application with the mailing of meeting announcements to non-members. We also mail the newsletter to all local college and university geology departments. As a volunteer, membership organization, the NHGS needs you, as current members, to help recruit additional new members.
