Play has begun for March Membership Madness!!!

Posted by Konni Flynn

We are in full game play mode – TSR March Membership Madness Month is now underway! Please click here for the full schedule of Membership Month Activities for you to play in.

Just as a reminder here are the rules for the TSR Membership Madness Month…for any current TSR member who brings a guest to a social, a Friday meeting or a service project during the month of March, their name will be added to a pool to receive free dues for a year. The more potential members – not a child or spouse (unless the spouse may join) – you bring, the more often your name will be entered into the pool for a year's worth of membership dues paid for by your awesome TSR club!

Don’t forget the double MADNESS – membership applications received by Jenalea or Paul between March 1st thru 31st will have the $90 initiation fee waived as well. MADNESS!!

It’s game time!

Bring all your top recruits to TSR Membership Madness activities throughout the month so you can win big.
