John Styler Needs Your Help

As a Board member of our Carder Steuben Club I have taken on the task of soliciting our members to send in their membership renewals and hopefully we will get new interested collectors to join.
I know if you haven’t already renewed it’s either because of business obligations or personal ones that have delayed your renewing, but please take a minute and get onboard. We have so much to offer and you don’t want to be left out.
There is a link right here on this Gazelle Gazette that will make it so very easy; at the bottom of the page in the PINK area.
I do believe because of the expansion in our scope of interest in post Carder Steuben we have garnered new members to our club.
Thanks for your interest it pleases all of us.

John Styler
Prospect Heights, Illinois
