GREETING FULBRIGHTS !!
I'm happy to report that the response to our first newsletter was very positive. I hope you will find this one interesting also.
We have an interesting article and letter from one of our Regional Representatives, Lovell Fulbright, that I think will strike a similar cord in many of us. He speaks about a subject many voiced a concern about here last summer, the plight of our family cemeteries. Please let us know your feelings!
Another subject I would like to take a moment to talk about is MEMBERSHIPS. We received quite a few new members after the first newsletter went out, but they have slowed to a stop. I know that many are planning to join but have gotten busy with work, school, and the holidays. We kept the membership dues low to allow everyone the opportunity to join, but if we have less than 200 members, our cost of mailing our newsletter and reunion news is almost double. We think that you get a lot for just $5.00 a year. Perhaps you know of someone in your family who hasn't joined yet. How about giving them a membership as a Christmas gift!!? If they enjoy it maybe they will give a membership to another family member!! That would really get the ball rolling!!
I have revised the membership form, as many have requested. I hope it is easier to read. You members who haven't sent us your family history, -- please do! And if you are a member who has sent us your family data, pass on the form to another family member.
We want to hear from! If you have any suggestions or complaints send them to us. The board wants your input to help make the Fulbright Family Association better reflect what you want it to be.
Keep those articles, suggestions, ideas, letters and support coming in. You’ll be hearing from us next February.
