Don't Forget Renew!

Dear Members,

Membership in the South Florida Blues Society is not the first thing on one's mind, so it's understandable that many people forget to renew their membership. It is however very important to send in your renewal dollars, as that's our chief source of revenue, helping to sustain us throughout the year. At risk of sounding like a broken record (for you younger folks that's what we had before CDs), we need you to please do that now!

It couldn't be easier. Simply click on the enrollment button. Follow either option 1 or option 2. You can pay on-line with a credit card or E-Check securely through PayPal or checks can be sent to:

South Florida Blues Society
P.O. Box 772548
Coral Springs, FL 33077-2548

Please include all your contact information.
