	Recruit a New Member by Carl Grobe Along with the fall of autumn leaves and the impending arrival of snowdrifts comes the time of year to renew our memberships in the WRWA. Each year, we try to expand our membership by attracting new members to the organization. Under the direction of Kathy Meyer, our membership lists expanded steadily. Now that I have taken over the reins from Kathy (as she takes over as President), I hope to continue her successful campaign of steady growth in our membership. To do this, I am asking for assistance from you, our current members. If you know someone who is not a member of the WRWA, but should be, please recruit them! Many new members join our organization after talking with a current member. Urge your friends, neighbors, and coworkers to join! Explain the importance of the Watershed and our many activities! Tell them about the River Cleanup, Fishing Derby, River Symposium, Annual Dinner, or your other favorite activity or event! Give them a copy of our Newsletter (after you have read it yourself) so that they will want to get future issues! If you prefer to have me do the recruiting, just let me know. Send the name and complete address of any prospective member to me by email (cgrobe@wsc.ma.edu) or by regular mail (Department of Biology, Westfield State College, Westfield, MA 01086). I will send the prospective member a membership application, membership brochure, and a letter inviting them to join our organization. I do not include the names of nominators in this mailing, but will mention that a current member recommended them for membership. Thank you in advance for helping to spread the Watershed word!
