Listen Up
Your Last “Graybeards?”
...Check your mailing label
If your dues remain unpaid for the calendar year 2001, you will be
removed from our “Graybeards” mailing list at the end of April. We
will mail a dues reminder to you prior to removal, but we are hopeful
that you will save us these printing and mailing costs.
This year we have added a new procedure to help remind you of
your dues date as follows: When your dues are paid IN FULL for the
calendar 2001, you will receive a self-adhesive sticker to attach to
your membership card which you may use to verify that your dues
are paid for the year 2001. If your dues expire somewhere within the
calendar year, you will receive your sticker when your dues are
brought on to the calendar year schedule.
To determine when your dues are due, please look at the mailing
label used to mail this magazine to you. Your dues date appears on
the label on the right hand side just above your last name. It’s important
to remember that the mailing labels for this magazine may have
been printed as much as a month before the magazine is actually
received by you. So if you have sent in your dues within the last
month, it will not be reflected on your mailing label.
If you are a regular member (having served in Korea in the military
or having served in the military during the Korean War (not necessarily
in Korea)), there is an “R” in the numbers just above your
first name and the following dues schedule applies to you:
“01/01/01” (translated this means January 1, 2001). This means
your dues are due in the amount of $20.00 for the calendar year 2001.
(By the same token, some are paid a year or two in advance. This is
also reflected by this date and you will receive your yearly stickers
when that year rolls around.)
If your dues are due January thru March of 2001,
your dues are ..........................................................................$20.00
If your dues are due April thru June of 2001,
your dues are ........................................................................ $15.00
If your dues are due July thru September of 2001,
your dues are ..........................................................................$10.00
If your dues are due October thru December of 2001,
your dues are...........................................................................$ 5.00
If you were a prisoner of war, there is a “P” in the number above your
first name on the mailing label and the date on the right-hand side is
01/01/01, your subscription fee in the amount of $6.00 is past due.
If you are an associate member (those who have an “A” in the number
above their first name on the mailing label used to mail those
magazine to you) your dues are:
January thru March of 2001 ................................................$12.00
April thru June of 2001..........................................................$ 9.00
July thru September of 2001 ................................................$ 6.00
October thru December of 2001 ..........................................$ 3.00
It is hoped that everyone will conform their dues to the calendar year
basis as soon as possible.
Life membership is $150.00—regardless of age.
Send your dues payment to: KWVA, PO Box 10806, Arlington, VA
22210.
Other matters:
Incidentally, if you move (or just head South for the winter)
always notify us of your address change at least three weeks ahead of
a move. The post office merely notifies us that you are “AWAY” and
we do not receive a forwarding address. This costs us over 60 cents
each. So let us know. Sending your mail to the wrong person, results
in lengthy delays. To expedite your mail...
Vincent Krepps gets everything regarding The Graybeards.
Nancy Monson and Lynne Eldridge (Membership Office) get
everything regarding dues, address changes, etc.,
Jerry Lake gets all chapter materials and requests to form new
chapters.
Thomas Gregory gets other financial matters.
Ken Cook gets all quartermaster requests.
Addresses for all of the above are on the inside cover of this magazine.
Sending it to the Membership Office only slows your request
down as we must then forward it to the appropriate person for handling.
Notice to Chapters:
Please include your chapter name and ID number on all applications
and be sure to use the new membership application with the new
dues amounts. Be sure all information is filled out on a new member
application—zip code, area code, unit of service, etc. We recently
provided all chapters with forms to help expedite dues payments. If
you would like a set, drop us a note. Your cooperation in using them
will be appreciated. It will save considerable time.
It’s important not to abbreviate—you may know what “P’sville”
is, but we don’t—we then have to take additional time and look it up
by the zip code. Another item sometimes missing is the telephone
area code.
Thank you for your cooperation,
Nancy Monson, Membership Office
