Hi, I've been getting some questions about how to join the Pacific Bulb Society and how to renew. The Pacific Bulb Society sponsors this list, but does not require you to be a member to participate. If you join, you are eligible to participate in the BX, to receive the newsletters published four times a year, and to receive the membership booklet which gives names and addresses and bulb interests of the members who choose to share this information with others. Membership is $20 a year for members who receive their mail in the United States and $25 a year for those who do not. The membership year is the calendar year so all memberships are up for renewal in the new year unless you joined for the first time in the last quarter of the year or renewed for more than one year. People joining for the first time in the fourth quarter are members through the next calendar year. Renewals should be sent to Patty Colville who handles the membership. A membership form for new members can be found on our web site: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/MembershipForm10-04.… This lists Patty's address and information about how to join using Pay Pal. Mary Sue
