Under 50 do not have an email address. HSA is going all electronic for all communications other than Frogpond and for voting. Let me know of your new email address. New members come in every month. A big problem for HSA is late renewals causing extra mailings of Frogpond. Dues should be paid by December 31 for the next year. Unfortunately about 200 members fail to meet this deadline, increasing the burden on HSA volunteers. I plan to resign after this year so HSA Is looking for a new secretary to manage the membership records. Please contact me if you are interested. Mollie Danforth 4016 Harris Place Alexandria.
