September 25, 2013
A letter is being emailed to all members with respect to the 2014 rates for both membership and insurance. There have been some changes so please do not use our old forms as they are incorrect.
As of October 1st, the new forms will be posted on the member's website and included in the October newsletter. They will also be available from your Reps after October 1st.
Please do not send using an old form. Be sure it says "2014" on the top of the page.
INSURANCE
Last year
the underwriters raised the cost of our insurance but thankfully, our insurance
agent was able to get them to agree to keep the premium at the same low rate but this year, we have no choice but to pay the new rate which is $2.00 more than the 2013 rate. Premium payments are due in our office no later than February 14th,
2014 for you to be included in the 2014 policy. Insurance is optional and
available to those members/chapters who wish to participate in the policy. To
have this same amount of protection on your home policy would cost you an
additional $800.00 on top of what you presently pay, for this “umbrella”
policy. Therefore it is still an incredible bargain for our members.
MEMBERSHIP
At the
national convention’s Annual General Meeting a motion was made from the floor to raise the membership fee and it should be noted that this was passed by 100% of the members present.
Registration fees will remain as a one-time fee of $5.00 and there is no intention to ever change that.
Therefore, effective January 1st, 2014, membership renewals will increase. Complete information will be on the new 2014 membership renewal forms.

CONVENTION 2013
A huge thank you to Elaine and Sue and their committees. They really put on an outstanding long weekend for our Jewels who came from sea to sea to attend.
Congratulations to Carol from Lower Sackville NS who won the "Song Writing" contest! Debbie and Carol sand it for us at the AGM and we all had the tune playing in our heads the rest of the day. Cross Iron Mills contributed a bus and gift bags for those who wanted to go shopping.
