The current 2024 Alamo Chapter Membership Status Roster lists 73 names that include all Honorary, Life, Active, Inactive, and Potential Members.  This Roster total was down from the December 2020 Roster - which had a total or 112 names listed.  This reduction was due to eliminating Inactive and Potential individuals who had been carried on the Roster for more than 3 years - with no participation or no e-mail replies during the prior 3 years.  Effective every January, the Roster will be further scrubbed by removing Inactive names who have not paid dues in over 3 years, along with Potential names who had do not respond to Chapter e-mails in over 3 years.  Active Membership (still $20.00 - Annually) covers the year when paid, and good only for January - December of that year.  Of course, Life Membership is always an option.  Just open the Alamo Chapter Membership Application (PDF) Form, complete everything that is applicable, and mail your Annual or Life Membership check to the address shown on the Application Form.
