SAJAA PRESIDENTS’ COUNCIL PLEDGES THEIR SUPPORT TO PROVIDE MAINTAINANCE FEE FOR THE NATIONAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION’S BUILDING:

The Presidents’ Council met on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 in a conference call to discuss the maintenance of the National Alumni building, located at 1401 Pine Street, North Little Rock, AR. and reviewed the new National membership dues structure.

The following classes were present on the conference call; 1950, 1952, 1954, 1955, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1961, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1970.

We discussed at length the following items:
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................
MEMBERSHIP DUES
National Dues ANNUALLY: $10.00.   ALL MEMBERS.   (NEW policy: the assessment replaces the annual Chapter financial assessment, the policy was determined by the National SAJAA.)
 
Each National member will receive a membership card upon payment to National treasurer, William McCraw.
NLR Chapter dues $10.00 (Each chapter determines its annual dues.)
........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
BUILDING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT
Each class is asked to pay an annual maintenance fee of $120.00 that will be used to pay taxes, Insurance, utilities, general cleaning, replacement and up-keep of the interior and exterior of the building. The class may pay the assessment in installments of any increment amount, however, as many as possible are asked to pay it by February. Classes are encouraged to use the building for class meeting at no cost. Thanks to the classes that have pledged or paid the assessment.

Rationale:  Our alumni bldg is an old building that is on the National Register.  It requires extensive maintenance.  Additionally, we have renovated the garage into an “Annex” to be used for small meetings, fund-raising activities, etc. The “Annex has a full kitchen, restroom, and meeting room available to rent for fund-raisers of classes and general public for a small fee.
