Every member must belong to a Chapter, and every chapter must publish at
least two newsletters a year. These days, many chapters seem to be
fulfilling this requirement electronically.

Chapters are not supposed to bill for the newsletter mailings, but I can
understand why some feel compelled to do so. If they bill, they damn well
should take your name off the mailing list if you don't want to pay. In
the old days, it was tough, as National sent mailing labels to the
chapters. Now they send an electronic list, so it might be easier to
take a name off.

My chapter does not bill, and will not if they expect my affiliation to
continue.


....at one time, in nc at least, one could select which chapter they
wanted their name attached to. if one isn't chosen, the nat'l org just
attached the membership to the nearest chapter.
