Let’s hope we will be able to meet in person this summer! Thank you! —Pat Squire Co-President Membership Chair WE ARE WELL INTO an unusual year. There are so many things to think about and some to be thankful for. We hope RAPS is one of the things you appreciate during these pandemic times. RAPS has continued to play an important role by providing interesting programs via Zoom for the benefit of our retired faculty and staff. Our history preservation group is initiating new projects and working on Portland State’s 75th anniversary this year, and our Book Group continues to meet via Zoom. As the new Membership chair, I delayed asking for dues. Last fall, with the pandemic spiking and stress and anxiety spiking along with it, I couldn’t bring myself to say to our membership, “Don’t forget to write a check to RAPS for your annual dues!” It just didn’t seem right. That being said, this week I paid my dues. Although this program year is almost over (March, April, and May meetings to come, and a possible August picnic), I am asking you to pay dues to RAPS. Dues support many things RAPS couldn’t afford to do otherwise, including our informative and fun meetings. Paying dues also demonstrates your support and continued commitment to Portland State, which is important now more than ever. If you’re not sure of your membership status, please Please check one: q $200 Lifetime Membership q $120 Ten years q $45 Three years q $20 One year Enclosed is my dues payment of $ ________ for membership in RAPS. Please make your check payable to: PSU Foundation and write “RAPS dues” on the memo line. Mail to: RAPS, Portland State University, PO Box 751, Portland OR 97207-0751.
