Herman: Senior Technical Editor Donna Baas: Production Director NEW MEMBERSHIP CATEGORY Nancy Wellmann: Business Manager told you earlier about some of the business Margie M. Brater: Circulation Manager I that was conducted at the annual Board Mary Sansalone: Seminar Coordinator meeting in Cincinnati this past June. Let me tell you now about the Membership Category Review Com TECHNICAL EDITORS: mittee and the recommendation they put before the board. The committee, chaired by Ben Matz with James Adams Debbie Kohn as a member, did a lot of work and came Wes Door to some conclusions. First, they were of the opinion that many stores were operated by Robert F. Bishop Henry B. Fried a husband and wife team. Even though both serviced timepieces, only one of them was a James H. Broughton Ewell D. Hartman member of AWi. On the recommendation of the Membership Category Committee, the Fred S. Burckhardt Robert A. Nelson board voted to create a new category of membership called the family membership. Charles Cleves Archie B. Perkins A "family member" is described as a family member engaged in horological activity, who is the mate or son or daughter of a regular member, living at the same Steven G. Conover Marshall F. Richmond residence, and working in the same business. The fee for the person classified as a family Joe Crooks Marvin E. Whitney member will be 50 percent of the regular dues ($20.00). The other horologist in the family will pay regular dues. The family member will be entitled to use all of the services of AWi including AW/ OFFICERS: the movement bank, technical information, the referral services, the second opinion services, and attend seminars. They have every right that a regular member has except Alice B. Carpenter, CMW, CEWS: President that the family member will not be a voting member, cannot hold office, or be an Wes Door, CMW: First Vice President affiliate chapter delegate. Only one copy of Horological Times will go to each family James Adams, CMW: Second Vice President group in the name of the regular member. Fred S. Burckhardt: Secretary Annual dues statements are on the way. If you and a family member want to take advantage of family membership, check the family member box on both of your Marvin E. Whitney, CMW, CMC, FAWI: Treasurer invoices. Write on one invoice "family member" and on the other "regular member." Return both invoices in the same envelope with your payment. AW/ DIRECTORS: If you joined AWi in the middle of the year last year, I understand that you will be billed before February of 1991 and given a prorated amount, so that you will William Biederman, CMW receive your updated materials for use for the entire year. Should you now have family Robert F. Bishop, CEWS members who join AWi, then all of you will be billed on a yearly basis at the same time. This is a very good opportunity to bring members of your family into AWi with you. James H. Broughton, CEWS And the price is a bargain! If you are planning for your son or daughter to take over Buddy Carpenter, CMC, CEWS your business in the future, surely you want to train them to take advantage of all the Henry Frystak, CMW opportunities that will help them to run a better, more efficient business. I would think Ewell D. Hartman, CMW that would mean training them to be members of AWi for where else can they receive as Gerald G. Jaeger, CMW, CEWS, FAWI much technical knowledge for their money? Frankly, though, I could never share my Horological Times with Buddy. He Donald R. Loke always has it when I want to look up a technical article, or else he has given it to some Robert L. Macomber, CMC one who isn't a member of AWi so they can see what AWi has to offer. Marshall F. Richmond, CMW Whether you decide to become a regular member and receive your own Horological Times, or whether you decide to become a family member and share a Paul D. Wadsworth: Affiliate Chapter Director Horological Times, we welcome you into our "family." Arnold Van Tiem: REC Director Robert F. Bishop, CEWS: Immediate Past President Milton C.
