Thanks for taking time to renew your membership. At this time, we have 60 members. If you have not yet renewed your membership, please do so by April 1st in order to get the early bird rate.

Don’t forget that members also receive a reduced rate on the conference. The theme this year is “Deal or No Deal, Is it time to gamble?” The conference is a great opportunity to examine the rapid changes that Senior Centers are now facing. Are you ready?

The board is busy preparing the 2008-2009 Directory. Please remember that only current members will be listed in the directory and that it is only published every other year. We will be sending out a notice at a later date to verify your information. It is not too late to join the association. Please submit your membership by April 1st to be included in the directory. If you have any questions or if you would like to check the status of your membership, please feel free to drop me an email or give me a call.

Thanks for being a part of WSASC!
