The June issue of The Compendium (print version) included a one-page reminder that NASS sent out as a service to BSS - the reminder was intended to jog the memories of NASS members who are also BSS members but who have not paid their BSS dues for the upcoming year.  Because the reminder came at the very last minute, when the issue was already with the printer, we were not able to selectively stuff the envelopes of only those people for whom it was relevant.  As a result, I am getting messages from many people who are concerned that their BSS membership is lapsing when they thought they had already renewed - either through NASS or with BSS directly.
 
Please note that the reminder sheet was sent to everyone.  Your getting a copy of it does not automatically indicate that you are behind in your BSS dues.  If you did not also get a separate renewal notice some time ago directly from BSS - to which you did not respond - then there is probably no reason for you to be concerned.  If you are not sure of your membership status in BSS, please check your membership card.  If this still does not clarify the issue, please contact BSS officers directly - not NASS.  NASS does not hold the BSS membership directory data.  You can be assured that monies sent to BSS via NASS have all been delivered and BSS has been notified of payments.
