New Sustaining Membership Levels Established
You may have noticed some changes recently at Simply Living. First, there is a new set of officers. And we have added a director to the Board. You may also have noticed that we’ve been offering our events with no admission fees. We plan to continue this practice whenever possible. If this approach is going to be successful, we will need to generate funding some other way. With this in mind, Simply Living has instituted two new Sustaining Membership levels: one at $2 per month and one at $5 per month. It is now possible to be a Sustaining Member for as little as $24 per year.
