[humanser] INVITATION TO JOIN

[Merry Schoch]

Hello All,

The Human Services Division will gladly accept your membership dues at the
convention; however, if you pay in advance your name will be put in a
drawing to win cash prizes of $25, $15, and $10.  This is for all who
register early!!

Great incentive to prepay and not have to stand in line either!
Merry

Great letter, J.D.!  Certainly great for a HS website.  One thing to add,
just in case newbies don't know: If you're going to NFB national convention,
you can pay dues there, as well.
