MEMBERSHIP REPORT
We are in the last quarter of 2017 and we still
have 56 Nobles who have not paid their 2017
dues. 2018 Dues notices were mailed out by
Imperial in September. A little fewer than 300
Nobles have paid their 2018 dues. These
numbers are not encouraging, and as bad as
they sound, it is going to be an even greater
challenge in 2018. We currently have 731
members. Projecting forward, we will most
likely start 2018 with under 700 members.
We have gone the entire year without a
Membership Chairman, and no one has
answered the call for the coming year. The
Chief Rabban continues to look for a Noble
willing to take the position for the coming year.
This is a critical leadership role. It is not the
only role; there are several positions within the
membership organization that need you. The
life of Al Amin Shrine depends on Nobles'
willingness to do their part. On the left, you can
see the key positions we need Nobles to fill.
Please consider joining the membership team.
