Note: November through February we receive hundreds
of renewal payments daily (thousands weekly) in the mail. That means it could be 4-6 weeks from the
time you mailed your payment, to when we get it posted and it clears your bank.
New membership cards are prepared and mailed the first week of each month, so you should get your new membership
card by the middle of the month after your payment is posted.
Please be patient with this process... our Part-Time Membership Assistant is pedaling as fast as she can!
We appreciate your continued support of the KWVA. |
