Membership Cards - Don't throw them away! - Tessere Badge - Non Gettarle!

Trieste, 20 ottobre 2021

Gentili soci,

dal 2020/21 le tessere dell'Associazione Italo Americana del FVG non sono più cartacee, ma plastificate (badge). Esse riportano sul retro gli anni di tesseramento.  

Per rinnovarle bisogna riportarle in Associazione per la stampa dell'anno in corso.

Vi preghiamo pertanto di non gettarle via nè di perderle, in quanto ciò comporta un ulteriore costo a carico dell'Associazione stessa.

Grazie per la collaborazione!
