Thanks to those of you who responded to the last-chance membership-renewal notices and paid their dues.

Still, we haven't heard back from others, and have set this Tuesday (June 15) as the final deadline before we must remove names from the membership list. We hope you'll be convinced to rejoin by the hard work of the past few years that has made the nation's oldest press club financially stable, by the many activities the club promotes and by the renovations performed in the past couple of years, which have greatly improved the club's appeal.

If you want to renew, either call club manager Carmen Green (303-571-5260) with a credit card number, or bring a check to the club Monday or Tuesday (just push them through the front door mail slot). Thank you.
