Gift Memberships Available

With the holidays approaching, this is an excellent time to consider giving an AFA membership to a family member or friend. You may want to encourage members of your chapter to give the gift of AFA membership to those they know who would enjoy Air Force Magazine.

You may download a gift application from the AFA web site by clicking on Field resources/Library/Gift application. http://www.afa.org/members/gift_app.pdf Or, if you would like, call Laine Martens at extension 4891 and she will send you a supply of the printed ones.

Gift Membership applications are also in several issues of Air Force Magazine -- May, September and November. There are two applications stapled into the magazine. The front one is a regular application. The other is for a gift.

If you use one of the gift applications, we will send a note to the recipient to let him or her know the gift is from you. Also, you can tell us if you would like to continue to renew the gift in the future or whether we should bill the recipient for renewal.

Of course you can also call AFA’s Member Services office and complete the transaction over the telephone or visit the web site and complete the online membership application, which includes the option of giving membership as a gift.

This is a good topic for a newsletter article. Urge your chapter members to strengthen the Association while sharing the spirit of giving during the holidays.
