[Lpobc] Welcome to our new LPOBC listserv!

[Shelly Clark]

Hi Laura,

Please see the attached for my membership application. I actually mailed a
hard copy application and a check back on August 21st. It was a $25 check
to include the $5 membership fee and a $20 donation.  However, I have never
received any correspondence.

Thanks,
Shelly Clark
