Less Than 30 Days Remain...
 The number of shopping days left until Christmas are quickly dwindling, and so are the number of days to sponsor a new member to join the Club at no initiation fee. Check someone off your gift list this year by gifting them a membership to the Club at no initiation fee; it is the gift that keeps on giving. By gifting your Platinum Certificate to a family member, friend or business associate, you are giving a gift that is up to $1,000 in value. If you have been procrastinating, now is the time to act. The program will end on Dec. 31. Beginning Jan. 1, the initiation fee will go into effect. Sponsoring a new member is easy. Simply provide the Membership Department with a name and contact info. They will take it from there. Contact Patti Cundiff, Downtown (314-539-4429) or Julie Kueper, West (3140539-4408) in the membership office.
