We are also in the process of sending out membership cards and cleaning up
our files. One disturbing thing we found was that some Past Perfect members
hip records were either not properly updated, or the program didn't accept
the updates (?).Â
Anyway, to answer your question about needing membership cards. We had seve
ral reasons, and benefits to being members, 1. Members had something to ide
ntify themselves as members with the cards, and it verified receipt of thei
r yearly dues; 2. Membership gave them free museum admission and access to
quarterly newsletters; 3. The Wisconsin State Historical Society would give
Affiliate Members certain discounts at times [which has been changing].
We recently eliminated museum admission fees and have gone to voluntary vis
itor donations [which seem to increase visitors].
So, now it mainly dues receipt verification, and discounts that the WSHS ma
y offer to affiliate members.

Hello,
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 com
munity who have expressed interest in our Society and in general cleaning u
p our membership rolls. We are having a debate among our officers whe
ther 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 h
ow do you acknowledge membership renewals or new memberships?
Thanks.
