Wisconsin Mayflower Newsletter Index of Mayflower Newsletter
Held 12 Nov 2011
Children under 18 years of age who are descended from a MAYFLOWER Pilgrim may be eligible for Junior Membership even if their parents are not Mayflower Society members. A current Society member may sponsor any lineal descendant under 18 for Junior Membership by filling out a simple form and paying a one-time enrollment fee of $10.00 (no yearly dues). Children do not need to reside in Wisconsin. Please take note that the one-time enrollment fee will be increasing to $25.00 on January 1, 2012. Junior Members receive picture postcards, or letters and literature on their birthdays. Their parents receive a copy of our Newsletter twice a year. A Junior Member is eligible to apply for Regular Membership at age 18 or a Life Membership at any age. Please contact our State Historian for more information. A Society member may also sponsor any child, possibly adopted or in a blended family, as a Junior Friend. He or she will receive a certificate similar to the Junior Member certificate, the same picture postcards, or letters and literature, and the Newsletters. The one-time enrollment fee is also $10.00. Junior Friends cannot become regular members unless descent from a MAYFLOWER Pilgrim can be documented. For Junior Membership and Junior Friend information, application forms, or for a change of address, please contact: Mrs. Gerald E. Jones (Susan) 2206 Gravenhurst Dr. Bloomington, IL 61705-4159 Phone (309) 283-2849 Email: MayflowerJuniors@comcast.net or visit our Wisconsin Mayflower Society website at www.mayflowerwi.org.This is a wonderful way to share your Pilgrim heritage and possibly spark an interest in family history among the younger members of your family. Junior Members who have become 18 years old during 2008 and are invited to apply for Regular or Life Membership in the Wisconsin Society and the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. To begin the regular membership process, please contact our State Historian, Joan Pekowsky.
NEW JUNIOR MEMBERS (13) new members have been enrolled as Junior Members in the Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of Wisconsin. ATTENTION JUNIOR MEMBERS, PARENTS AND SPONSORS We do not want to lose track of you! If you have recently moved or are planning a move, please don’t forget to notify us. We are always very sad when a birthday greeting comes back and doesn’t arrive in time for the big day. We do our best to find those lost but we need your help. All 350 Junior members are very special to us. Please help by letting us know when an address changes. Mrs. Gerald E. Jones (Susan), 2206 Gravenhurst Dr., Bloomington, IL 61704-4159 Susan Jones and Patricia Klusmeyer, Junior Membership Co-Secretaries

I appreciate any Mayflower articles appearing in local papers being sent to me for inserting into the Mayflower scrapbook.

Take a web peek at: www.mayflowerwi.orgA new web site is in the planning stage. The Mayflower/Pilgrim “Book” page on our web has books recommended by our members. Kindly send me your latest Mayflower/Pilgrim read to include in this listing. Would you like to have your family web linked to the WI Society of Mayflower Descendants web? This could be a special page with our WI member web links. Send me your web address. Webs would have to conform to General Society guidelines to be linked.
