Hello Steve,
at the Sauk County Historical Society we do issue Membership Cards along with a letter, which also acts to acknowledge the membership.
We use Past Perfect which includes a Membership component, to generate lists of expired memberships and also to generate Renewal letters. When people come in to use our services we ask if they are a member, for which they get a discount on services and purchases, but I don't think they are requested to produce the cards.
We have a Board Member dedicated to processing the memberships, which makes it more efficient. Our Office and Research Coordinator knows most members by heart, but if you have a volunteer responsible for providing any services, then I would deffinately issue cards.
I would suggest issuing membership cards
hope this helps,
Becca DuBey, Museum Curator

At the Mondovi Area Historical Society, we are currently in the process of sending out membership renewal letters to our members and others in the community who have expressed interest in our Society and in general cleaning up our membership rolls. We are having a debate among our officers whether or not membership cards are necessary. I am inquiring what other societies are doing regarding such cards, do you send them out or if not how do you acknowledge membership renewals or new memberships?
