Membership Report

By IdaRose Sylvester Membership Committee Chair
Members , we appreciate all of you !
Thank you to all who joined or renewed since our last membership update . Your membership dues go to keeping this organization alive , and thriving . We have ever increasing costs , for things such as event space and supplies , printing our marketing materials , Zoom fees , insurance , updating and maintaining our website to be more useful for you and future generations , and printing and mailing costs for this newsletter . We are also working on ways to digitally preserve and make our collections more accessible . We are funded exclusively by membership dues and donations , and are 100 % volunteer run . Every new membership or renewal notice is met with gratitude and cheers from the team !
As a reminder , if you are on our email list , that does not mean you are official members of our organization . Only paid members will continue to receive a printed newsletter , and get free or discounted event admission , along with the satisfaction of helping us preserve Mountain View history ! We are continually updating our membership system to bring ourselves up to 2022 standards , so if you are unsure of your membership
Name ( s ):
Street Address : status , please reach out to me , IdaRose Sylvester , at idarose @ siliconvalleylink . com . I love hearing from our members , and all the great stories you send !
In fact , while getting your memberships is wonderful , I am particularly blessed by the amazing cards and letters I get . I have read powerful stories of life before and during internment of our Japanese American members during World War II , stories from people who remember orchards and a more quiet way of life , stories of parents who bought their children lifetime memberships in the 1970s , notes from children about how their parents have passed , but loved our newsletter and keeping in touch . We love hearing these stories , and cherish each one !
