DVHH Membership Message

Submitted By Dennis Bauer

Dear Fellow Donauschwaben:

Happy Holidays to All.

    INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP - We have now entered our second year of the Donauschwaben Villages Helping Hands (DVHH) membership and are looking for your membership support of this fine organization. If you joined last year please re-new your membership. If you are not presently a member we would appreciate your new Supporter or Associate membership.

    CLUB MEMBERSHIP - At the present we only have one Donauschwaben club (Trenton) that is an Affiliate member so far, please consider having your club support the DVHH by joining.

    To become a member and see details on membership types visit:     http://www.dvhh.org/membership/

Regards, Dennis J. Bauer
Chair, Membership Committee

Additional Note to DVHH List Readers:

    Some of you have expressed confusion about whether DVHH volunteers and e-mail list subscribers are automatically DVHH members.  In fact, being a volunteer or list subscriber does not mean you are a member.  All three ways of being involved are independent of one another and must be signed up for independently as well.

    DVHH members donate money in the amount of their annual membership dues ($15, $35, or $100); the reliable financial assistance of members pays the organization’s online costs and allows DVHH to remain online.

    DVHH volunteers donate time as lookup guides, village coordinators, etc.; the donation of time is an invaluable gift, and DVHH volunteers form the foundation of the organization.

    DVHH e-mail list subscribers learn from each other via their posts to this list.

    It's possible to choose only one, any two, or all three of the above ways to become involved.  But again, you must sign up for each of your choices separately.

I hope this helps make everything less confusing, 

The DVHH Membership Committee
