We Don't Want to Lose You; And Finding You Has Become Very Expensive!

The Association does all of our mailings using the postal service bulk, not-for-profit rate within the United States and our territories and protectorates. We save a considerable amount of money by doing our mailings in this fashion. Unfortunately, when you move and don't provide us with the change, our mail will not be forwarded to you, after your grace period, and this class of mail is not returned to the sender. Thus, we have no idea as to whether you received the mailing or not, and we are not made aware of the change by the post office.

As a result of this situation, I have to do a separate and special mailing that is devoted to checking the accuracy of the TMA membership database. The process involves a lot of work, a lot of money and about four months of time to complete. And the cost to the Association is substantial, because until we perform a mailing to correct the address information, the materials we are mailing to a bad address just ferment on some post office floor. These are wasted printing and postage costs.

Please keep your information current. Your diligence is greatly appreciated.
