Where’s MY Birthday?

Sometimes we are asked why a certain Member’s birthday is not listed in these good wishes – sometimes the letters are not really too polite! We have no way of knowing when your birthday takes place unless you inform us – and no, it is not on the Membership application blank as so many think. You have to tell us separately.
