[rfu-membership] Re: [Rfu-station] Last Call for RFU Membership Renewals Before Show Cancellations Begin

[Mike Lehman]

Hi Tom,
OK, I'll check into what's become of your membership form. You did put 
it in the dropbox safe inside the IMC, not some other box? I've got the 
latest printout from IMC-Finance (dated Nov. 2) and it doesn't have an 
entry from you on it, so I suspect that your form is someplace other 
than the dropbox?
