Not long ago over twenty $25.00 vouchers from OSWA arrived in the mail. A grant from Stimson Lumber Company is funding this program which is to be used to discount any new membership fees for the first year of membership. This is being offered in NW Oregon for OSWA chapters in Columbia, Clackamas, Yamhill, Washington, and Tillamook counties.
Consequently, the one year membership for a new member drops to $50.00 (From $75) for those owning 70 forested acres or less and $100.00 (From $125) for those owning 71 acres or more. There is no expiration date for this program, but there is limited funding based upon the number of vouchers which were distributed to the chapters.
As you mention membership opportunities to your friends and acquaintances, be sure to mention the discount for a new member. The CCSWA Board has suggested this process for redeeming the vouchers.
1. Complete the application as in the past. Be sure to include your name on the application as the person making the referral.
2. Attach a check for the discounted membership dues.
3. Mail the application and check to:
Paul Nys
68800 Meissner Road
Rainier, OR 97048
The voucher will be attached and sent with the application to Salem for processing. Also, keep in mind that the person making the referral will receive a $10 discount on next year’s dues. These coupons are mailed directly to the recruiter from the Salem office and should arrive within a week or two.
Stimson Lumber Company is to be complimented for promoting a number of activities for forestland owners and others in our area. Of course, we are very appreciative of their contributions and support. |
