Save paper, save trees on your renewal

Instead of receiving multiple renewal notices in the mail, members of the National Audubon Society can now call 800-274-4201 and ask to sign up for Audubon's Paper-free Renewal Program.

Those who sign up will have their membership automatically renewed each year, and will simply receive one bill approximately two months in advance of their membership expiration date.

River Bluffs members should indicate our chapter number, which is NO9-7XCH. This will help ensure that a share of the national dues is returned to the chapter.
