FODM Dues Will Increase on July 1, 2008

Have you renewed your membership in the Friends of Dyke Marsh for 2008? If not, now's the time. To cover our operational costs, dues will go up from $10 to $15 a year on July 1, the first increase in many years and still a real bargain. The mailing label for this issue of The Marsh Wren tells you your current status. If the number listed after your name is 2008 or later or is LM (life member), you're up-to-date. If the number is 2007 or earlier, renew now and save $5. Of course, you could also contribute a little more to help us preserve and restore Dyke Marsh.
