MEMBERSHIP

Membership in the Guild has risen this year to 298 individual members and 20 group members. Contrary to earlier notes in this newsletter, (I sometimes do change my mind), you will note that the November ’'92 membership and mailing list is included with this newsletter. The extra tracking logistics of mailing it out to members as they send in their 1993 fees seemed on second thought to be too much. However, please do send in fees ASAP so long-winded reminders aren’t necessary later.

If you are interested in the Mutual of Omaha group insurance, please contact their Vancouver office or this office.
