MEMBERSHIP REPORT<br />
Our membership is doing better than last year;<br />
we have 737 members but still have 62 Nobles<br />
who have not paid their dues. We need for<br />
these Nobles to submit their payments. There<br />
are numerous ways to pay, and we can set up<br />
installment plans with automatic withdrawal<br />
from your bank if you wish. We submitted our<br />
final per capita and hospital assessment<br />
payment to Imperial; it was in excess of<br />
$10,000. We must pay for every Noble on our<br />
rolls whether they pay their dues or not. If any<br />
of these 60+ Nobles goes NPD and is<br />
suspended, we are out their $35 paid to<br />
Imperial. We continue to grow new members;<br />
we have created 10 new Nobles, but have lost<br />
12 to the black camel. With a couple of<br />
restorations, we are ahead by 2. This is where<br />
our next big push will be, in restorations. Any<br />
Noble who was suspended for NPD in the last<br />
3-5 years will be getting a call and a letter. We<br />
need your help with this and creations. If you<br />
would like to assist, please call the office.<br />
PAY DUES HERE<br />
