It is again this time of the year when we need to start updating the ADS Boston-Chapter membership list for 2010. We hope that you decide to renew your membership or to have a new membership  this year in support of the ADS as an organization and in support of your local Boston Chapter. Our ADS-Boston Chapter Treasurer Mrs. Sanaa Rajeh sent out a letter with a self-addressed return envelope this past week for the membership. Please, include your membership in the return envelope and mail it back. If you happen to see Sanaa earlier, please feel free to give her the membership as well. The membership dues are listed below as well as in the letter.  We appreciate your continued support though the memberships as well as the community activities. In case you have not got a letter, here is the mailing address for Sanaa:
                                        
 ADS National now strictly requires that you be a paid member by the 31st of March of a calendar year to be eligible to vote in local and national elections that year. Please, do keep that in mind and please make an effort to send your membership contribution by March 31st 2010. 
 Few additional notes about the memberships:
 - Memberships are important for our community to maintain status as a chapter with ADS.
- Being a member entitles you to discounts at National ADS events such the ADS National convention.
- Your membership entitles you to receive "Our heritage" Magazine.
- Being a member gives you voting privileges for Local & National elections.
- 50% of your membership fee supports the ADS national office and its activities while the remaining 50% supports the Boston chapter. Your support for both is needed and appreciated.
