Bulletin Board Entries

Our chapter has about 25% of our total membership enrolled in dues withholding.  My question is this average? 

Another question - less than 7% of our total membership are active employees.  Again, is this about average?

We serve a large county on the central coast of California.  Most members probably came from someplace else.

NARFE has published a new f-100 that is bigger and better than the previous editions. It includes pages for users to list mortgage information and to list credit card information among other features.  The F-100's are of course available on -line so that you can download the pages and actually fill them in before printing them out.

The FTC has created a guide that lists places to go to get reliable information on specific health related issues, medial identity theft and fraud, elder abuse, and medications. The web site where you can view the guide is www.ftc.gov/whocares, and you can order 50 or more copies of the guide to give out to members at www.ftc.gov/bulkorder.
