I know someone who already has credit for 2 new members. They only need one more to meet the minimum for the contest. Are they in your Region?

Need help or ideas - let me know.

Atlanta??? That sounds good and only a few hours from me. Ill rejoin the S.A.M. if I can get my old number from the 70s. I still have my membership card. I think it was $15 dues then.

I am sure you can keep your old member number. The National Administrator, Manon Rodriguez, keeps track of all the records. You can email her at:
