Renewing - Some Questions & Answers

Techno-stress.  WHO NEEDS IT?… especially this time of year.  We’ve fielded a few questions on the renewal entry process.  Here is what we’ve learned.

You renewed, but your spouse is still getting renewal notices

Dues cover both you AND your spouse.  To ensure both of you get Ozark Society emails, the renewal process allows you to enter both your emails.  We encourage this.  But, if you entered both your emails last year, but just renewed with only YOUR email this year, the renewal screen does not update your spouse as renewed, and they will continue to get renewal notices.   Dang!   If  this happens to you, just email Martha Morris:  morr4@ymail.com, or me: thompsonadd@gmail.com.   We will confirm your payment, and update your spouse as paid.

The renewal screen says your emails don’t match

Hate this, but making you enter your email twice…

The Cypress Black Bayou Recreation Area has installed a kayak launch at the Hwy 162 boat ramp on Cypress Lake. This is a great improvement to the muddy bank that has challenged many of us over the years. Thanks to John Oswick and his CBBRA crew!!

Marian celebrated her birthday on the Sugar Cane Trail at Caney Lakes in Minden on December 12 with BCOS members and Penny. They

hiked 5.5 miles at a leisurely pace. The temperature was in the low 50's and cloudy skies - perfect for hiking! There was still a good bit of leaf color on the freshly blown off trail.

Merry Christmas BCOS friends!  Forty five members showed up at the annual Christmas Party Sunday evening December 7th despite the cold rainy weather. We had Good Food, Good Fellowship and Good Fun! We missed those of you who were not there with us! After we ate the delicious food and desserts, Tammy kept things under control during the White Elephant Gift Exchange followed by Kim moderating the Ugly Sweater Contest. Thanks to all who came and made it a special evening and especially all who stayed after and helped with the cleanup. Thanks also to the Red River National Wildlife Refuge for the continued use of this great building!
