Robin, I looked at the associate membership form and it doesn't appear to need a sponsor form, just a sponsor signature. Ask Judy Gates if this is correct. If so, I could sign the associate membership for you. Then you would have a chance to work up to full membership or to find out if this is even what you want. Everyone has to start somewhere. All the best, Susan Cochran
