Good Evening,
We are a small society in Waterloo, WI. Our museum is open only on Sunday's or by appointment in the summer. We try to interest any visitor's to the museum in a membership. Also any queries that we answer on research done from our files is always accompanied by a membership pamphlet! Waterloo also has a yearly alumni banquet which we attend with our latest books we have for sale plus our membership pamphlets!
We would also be interested in any other ideas.
Kathleen Lawrence
Treasurer - Waterloo Area Historical Society

We would like to know how other historical societies seek to expand their membership.
Has anyone solicited their high school alumni as members? Did you send letters and
membership forms via U.S. mail or did you use an email format? Any suggestions or
ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
