AJD
BIRTHDAY CLUB
RULES
For
members of AJD Groups only
BIRTHDAYS
are special and all of you
in AJD are special! The
purpose of birthday club
is to let others know that
we are thinking of them
on their special day. It
also enhances camaraderie
and friendship among our
fellow members in the AJD
Groups. In order for it
to be enjoyable, few guidelines
need to be followed. Also,
all participants need to
subscribe to AJD Traders
Group, our private closed
group at the new home of
the AJD Birthday Club.
MEMBERSHIP
In order to become a member
of the AJD Birthday Club,
you must be approved by

the club message board.
It requires your Username,

Once the request has been

records in sending and receiving
birthday cards and philatelic
tuck-ins. On the first day

board the incoming member's
birthday. Also, all birthdates
have a reminder on the club
calendar.
