Reply #60: I had to come back to this thread to tell you guys this:

[Subdivisions]

I am about to start a new career but I want to stay connected with SMWIA. So, I wanted to take a withdrawal, which would mean that if I ever wanted to, I could get back in for a buck. Anyways, I tried to call the hall on Thursday to find out if I had to pay all my dues up current before taking a withdrawal and, because I've never done it before, wanted to address it with the secretary. But all day there was a busy signal. So I shrugged it off and waited until Friday. Friday the phone rang but no one answered. Now it's just weird. So, since I wasn't able to find out what I needed to know, all I had left to do was get to the hall and slide my dues payment through the overnight drop so it wouldn't be late and I wouldn't get suspended.

Imagine my great surprise to find the reason the phones were busy or not being asnwered. The hall had been gutted by fire! I had no idea and now I face possible suspension because there was nowhere to leave my dues check nor was there any kind of directions on what to do posted at what was left of the hall. All I can do now is put it in the mail and hope for the best.
