Dear Jean, Don't mess with your bank. If you go to the universal currency converter,
http://www.xe.com/ucc/ fill in 43.50 United States Dollars ($38.50 membership + $5) convert it to British Pounds, the amount will be 23.77 GBP and you will write your check for that amount today. It may vary day to day or hour to hour actually, but the internet currency converter is close enough for the day. I just did the conversion and the rate today, rounded off is 1 GBP = $1.83. I'm sure IOLI will accept your check for the amount given by the Universal Currency Converter for the day you write the check. Make your sterling check to I.O.L.I. and mail it to Adele M. Ward, Membership Chair IOLI, 868 Castle Falls Dr. NE, Atlanta, GA 30329 USA Hope this helps. Adele can let me know if the conversion went awry, and I'll send her some $s. <G> (so long as my name goes on your application - another <g>) Happy Lacemaking, Betty Ann Rice in Roanoke, Virginia USA -----Original Message----- From: Jean Nathan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [lace-chat] IOLI membership I'm thinking about joining IOLI, It says that I can add $5 to the membership fee, phone my bank for the exchange rate and then write a sterling cheque for the exchange amount. My bank's response was: "Depends on when you write the cheque because the exchange rate changes throughout the day."
