Hello MTDA members,

I  recently received an email from SDP stating that my member number has changed.  Please check your emails for this note from SDP.  Remember, you will need to get with Fonda Kopski and let her know your new number.  It might be helpful if we all brought a copy of the email to the Christmas party to give to Fonda so she can record the correct numbers.

Also, remember to renew for SDP before December 1st to avoid the $5 late fee.  When you register, you will be taken to the Craft & Hobby Association website for payment.

Thank you,

Melissa
