Good day Brothers, I hope this message finds you in good spirits and excellent health. I am writing to address the need for the completion of Form 40, as well as to clarify our policies concerning the reissue of membership cards. Your understanding of these processes is crucial for ensuring timely updates and maintaining accurate records within our organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To begin with, Form 40 must be filled out with meticulous attention to detail. This form significantly facilitates various updates and administrative functions, which are essential to get information about our membership. We also use Form 40 for the Hibernian Digest mailing list. Division Presidents and Financial Secretaries must take time to ensure that all sections of the form are completed correctly. Also, please Do Not Use all capital letters when filling the information out. Doing so makes the transfer of information cumbersome. In addition, when entering address information, the street address and apartment information should be listed on only 1 line – not 2 lines. The 2 lines are only used when entering a PO address in addition to the street address or when entering the name of a Church or Institution. For example: 2568 Broad Street, APT 14B is entered entirely on one line \u2014 not 2 lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, I would like to draw your attention to our policy concerning the reissue of membership cards. Reissues are strictly accepted under specific circumstances, such as outlined below for your reference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Changes in Veteran status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Updates regarding your Major Degree; and<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 New memberships, which necessitate the issuance of a fresh card to represent your current standing within our organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is important to note, however, that we do not accommodate requests for card reissues solely based on changes of address. This card only represents that you are a member in good standing for the year on the card, it is not used for identification purposes. Of course, if your card is unserviceable, we will replace it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should you have any further questions, require additional clarification, or need assistance to complete your Form 40, please do not hesitate to reach out to Deputy National Secretary Greg Se\u00e1n Canning (201-787-6650; grioghar@mac.com ) or myself, Ray Lynch (772-298-2244; irishyankeenut@gmail.com ). We are here to support you throughout this process and ensure everything is handled smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. We greatly appreciate your attention to these policies and look forward to assisting you soon.<\/p>\n
