I am giving one star, I have emailed Stacey twice to be removed from there email list and today (1/23/19) I have received another. I know you are trying to do anything to keep membership up, but I DON'T WANT your emails anymore. So this is the 3rd time asking to be removed from your email list.

This org has done so much for the preservation of history and has provided me with lifelong friendships! Even in the "digital age" there is no substitute for the great friendships and bonds formed through meetings and organizations such as this, and the response of the office is always top notch! As a volunteer and a member for 30 years, I cannot recommend this group enough!
