Last Call to Renew your EFA Membership ! THANK YOU EFA VOLUNTEERS !

LAST CALL to

RENEW YOUR EFA MEMBERSHiP

Well... this is it... its the 'day after' our formal Membership Renewal deadline.

After more than a handful of email & blog reminders... we are, of course, creating a Last Call opportunity for any Team EFA member that has not yet made the time to renew. Click HERE for information about the renewal process. You have an extension through this weekend !

EFA volunteers are now gearing up for phase 2 of our membership renewal work !

Meghann of LittleStudioJewels will be cleaning up the Yahoo Groups list and anyone on that email list who has not gone through the formal renewal process will be deleted from the Group list on the last day of the month.

Terri of blindsquirrel is sorting through all the renewal notices and placing all your EFA participating Etsy shop names on our new website Members list. This Member list is an alphabetical index of all Etsy shops owned by EFA members... this is a good place to reference what stores qualify as participating EFA businesses. All EFA shops listed here must have at least one product for sale that is tagged 'team efa' at all times and display our team information in either their Shop Announcements and/or Profiles. Please be sure to dbl check that you have done that !

Nicole of brizel4TheAnimals is busy creating Team EFA 'Thanks for Renewing' your membership Etsy Treasuries which will include an item from each of the above mentioned EFA participating shops. An ambitious project in its own right :) Please help to promote your team members & these treasuries by visiting, leaving a comment, & posting them on your FB, Twitter & Blogs !

Micky of Aldanamica is busy finalizing our new membership lists.

Emma of Urbanimal will be continuing her work on the website creating EFA member Profiles in the Shopping section... This Shopping section is an index of EFA members organized by their primary shop's name in their chosen main shopping category which represents the type of items they sell. Here you will find one EFA member profile for each of our members. All member profiles for shops that have chosen not to renew their EFA membership will be deleted from the website starting December 1st.

Michele of mvegan5, who is our Membership Director, is assisting members, both new & old, with their membership questions and... will soon be undertaking the task of creating a new Etsy Teams for Team EFA. If you need assistance regarding your membership, please contact Michele ! If you have decided not to renew- we ask that you remove your EFA team tags including our team affiliation information. Thanks so much !

I am grateful for... notebooks
