Newsletter and Membership Renewals

The November Newsletter has been emailed to all members. In it is the link to the 2012 Membership Renewal Package, which also contains information for renewing your chapter's insurance and ordering pins (membership pin, new CJCS rhinestone pin etc.)

If someone in your chapter does NOT receive their newsletter, please ask them to email our office. Do not do this for them. This way we will have their correct return email address. If you are not receiving the newsletter, remember to check your spam/junk mail. For members using "eastlink" as their Internet Provider, you will have to set up a yahoo or gmail (internet) email account as for some reason, those with eastlink cannot receive the newsletter.

All members receive ONE FREE MONTH this year as the renewal date has been changed to January 31st. ALL MEMBERSHIPS expire at that time if we have not reeived your renewal. 

You must be an active 2012 member in order to register for the 2012 Convention to be held in Regina in September 2012. Convention registrations will not be accepted until memberships renewals have been processed. Please allow 4-6 weeks for processing.

UPDATES - from the AGM & Convention

First, we have a new "SHOPPING" tab on the member's web site. Place your orders now for Christmas before it's too late. A couple of the tabs have been moved so hover your mouse over them and see what's new!

We had a wonderful time in Brandon. Thank you so very much to the Brandon area Jewels and our Hostesses Judy & Darlene who worked so hard with their committee to make the convention a success. I think we all learned a little more about the Prairies over the four days we were there!

Our October Newsletter will be posted October 1st with a report on the AGM and convention. Remember that all past Newsletters back to 2009 are in the Archives on the Member's website.

Welcome to Darlene who is our new Provincial Representative and Board Member representing Manitoba. She is a great addition to the Board!

We have changed the due date of when membership renewals are due. Everyone gets one free month this year so that now, membership and insurance renewals will all be due at the same time. Makes life easier for all of us.

The good news is that there is no increase in membership fees for yet another year... three years in a row with no increase!  

Don't forget that if you wish to join us on the 2012 cruise, you MUST book now. Only a few cabins remain.

CHAT

We have a new "chat" program on our member's web site. It's great. You can chat in the "group" or send a private message to someone that makes a little window pop up on their screen and they hear a sound (chime) if their sound is turned on.

We're always finding ways to improve!

Looking forward to seeing so many of you again next week at the convention and meeting many new Jewels. Lots of hugs going around for sure!!
