B) Reminder of the Membership Due and Donations:

AKPA has been prosperous thanks to yearly fund raising effort for donations

and membership fees by AKPA members. A season for the AKPA Election is coming

soon. In addition, a new updated AKPA charter and by-law amendments will be

asked to approve by the regular membership. According to the original AKPA

charter and by-law which is still operative, only the AKPA regular members

possess the voting & elective franchise and they have obligation to pay

yearly membership fees, though the additional donations are voluntary.

Only 18 members paid their membership dues this year as of today and the

existing AKPA fund is not enough to carry out the AKPA activities including

the Directory, Newsletter, the Outstanding Young Researcher Award, E-link

and Homepage service, Election and Votings.

We would appreciate your kind and generous consideration for the annual

membership fee (regular member: $25, associate member: $5) as well as for

additional donations. Please make the check payable to the AKPA and send to:

Dr. Cheolkyu Kim,

AKPA Treasurer
