'Fee'dback
A few recent emails we've received have revealed that the important message in our catalog from Ben Mattox, ILR Chair, regarding our membership fee increase is being overlooked by some. Because it's our intention to be completely transparent and forthright about the need for the increase, we ask that you please review the announcement in our catalog, page 3.
