Watch Out for Membership Renewals
For most of us, membership in AAUW runs from June 30 th to June 29 th of the following year.
However, for those of us who joined AAUW after February 2022, your renewal date is one year
from whenever you joined. For example, if you joined in March, your membership runs from
March 31 st of that year to March 30 th of the following year. AAUW national tries to be very
proactive in this effort and usually sends out reminders a month or two before the renewal date.
The sender is American (AAUW) and the subject line is AAUW: It’s Time to Renew your
Membership! Here’s a few key points:
 The current renewal contains a link for renewing online through your personal snapshot
along with a video illustrating the process titled, Tutorial: How to Self-Renew for Existing
Members.
 You can also renew by check which should be made out to AAUW Harford County
Branch for $103 ($72 for national dues, $10 for state dues, and $21 for branch dues).
Then send your check to our finance officer Peggy Dymond at 670 Andrews Road,
Aberdeen, MD 21001.
 Remember that there is a 90-grace period to renew your membership, but please renew as
soon as possible once you receive your renewal notice.

Not sure when you joined? If you joined after February 2022, watch for an email from Jeanne
Blades in early November with the time that you initially joined. If you have any questions,
please don’t hesitate to contact Jeanne Blades at jeanmarieb@gmail.com.

Thanks! Jeanne Blades, VP for Membership

Birthdays

Birthday Bash!

Before we know it, our birthdays come and go, and we have forgotten to reach out to others on their special day. This upcoming year, we’d like to change that in AAUW by sending each member a birthday card. There’s one little problem with this however, we don’t have everyone’s birthday! Please help us out by emailing your birthday back to me so I can complete a chart with everyone’s special day. Even if you’ve sworn off celebrating any more birthdays, birthday well wishes will still head your way!

Please email your name and birthday (month and day are fine if you want to keep others guessing your age!) and address back to me when you have a moment or you can also text the information with your name, address, and birthdate to my cell 410-800-3732.

Many thanks!

KUDOS and THANKS

 

This is the first newsletter since Karen Gyolai shared this EXCELLENT news and sincere
thanks. I want to thank everyone for the prayers, cards, calls and good thoughts sent to both my husband, Jim Gyolai, and myself during his heart bypass journey. He finally had his double bypass in midJanuary. He has had a good recovery, looks great, and is beginning to do more. He
starts Cardiac Rehab this week (April). August update – Jim is still doing well and is through with his cardiac rehab. I appreciate all the prayers and cards to him and myself. It was truly appreciated. We are on a road trip this week. The support of our AAUW group has been amazing.
Thanks to all,
Karen Gyolai
