Sponsor A Member
Every current member of the society is encouraged to sponsor a NEW member.
The request is going out to all society members to consider sponsoring a friend, family member, interested work colleague, niece, nephew, grandchild or anyone for that matter…as a new SKCGS member! Perhaps it'll be that interested work colleague, or the friend or family member who's been interested in what you do with the society but lives far away. Perhaps it's a "genealogical buddy" who has roots in this area and whose research in the state of Washington and King County would benefit from membership in the society.
Another aspect of Sponsor A Member is to acquaint more people with the benefits of membership in the society. Many organizations are struggling to maintain active memberships. Valuable projects are not completed due to lack of personnel/volunteers. We are hoping to inspire involvement in family and local history with Sponsor A Member.
These memberships are available as either individual memberships (at $15.00 per year) or as dual memberships for families (at $18.75 per year) and if purchased now will be good through May 31, 2010. That is, the membership period will be slightly longer than one year, an added incentive for this special fundraiser.
