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.

In order to become a member of the AJD Birthday Club, you must be approved by Zita Demaree, the owner/founder of the AJD Groups. You need to be an active member of AJD for a month and subsequently have an activity post on the club message board. It requires your Username, Name, Address, birthdate and collecting preferences or wish. My e-mail address is ajdemaree@yahoo.com. Once the request has been approved, it will be added to the AJD Birthday Club Master List and your name will be forwarded to me who is tracking the members records in sending and receiving birthday cards and philatelic tuck-ins. On the first day of each month, she will send a reminder to all members by posting on the AJD message board the incoming member's birthday. Also, all birthdates have a reminder on the club calendar.
