membership CANCELED
As a person who works quite a bit with a non-profit organization, I can certainly understand when community organizations solicit money. Our group has even sent out a few of those mailers that offer a chance to donate to a good cause. But I have to say I find it very annoying when they sent things out that seem like they're from a collection agency or something.
I mean, when you open it up and it says something like, you need to renew your membership or else... C'mon! Are they going to send the volunteer sheriff out to get me? And is that supposed to make me want to give? So I haven't sent in my dues, now they're threatening to cancel my membership?
Since it seems they've spent last year's membership dues on mailing me more stuff about collecting my annual dues, maybe I'll just save them the time and money this year. In the meantime, my organizations' mailers will have a far friendlier tone.

I got one of those once...I was thinking what are they going to do, put it on my credit report?
Your Educated Bigot post made me laugh! A few years back I was in line somewhere carrying a Tinky Winky doll and some woman out of the blue says "Oh you support those people"? And I'm like who...3 year olds? Some people never cease to amaze me.
I'd cancel.
