Membership Book For
Presidents

We realize more than ever before
the necessity of getting out Mem
bership Book for the local presidents.
This record will soon be off the
press.
It is an impossibility for the local
presidents to remember who paid
ad who did not pay their quarterly
ssmc1ts, in the face of the fact
many of the members win not
meet the lodge meetings. We are
surprised at the presidents being
able to remember as well as they do
This record that we will soon have
off the press is designed to hold
your entire membership, with a
column for the date the applicant
joined the lodge, the policy number,
and spaces for all of the quarterly
assessments.
These records will be off the press
by the December Board if not be-
fore that time. We want every pres
ident in the Association to get one
Of these records.
