Would it be possible to have a link on the AHR site where members
could look on to see if they are a paid up member? I see a Member
Farm page, but what about just a listing of individual members with
the year in a column next to their name to show it they are current or
not?
One year I managed to pay double memberships which, when pointed out
to me, I elected to roll the second payment over into the next
membership year. Now I'm never sure if I'm current or not. What
would be helpful to me would be a page where I could look up my name
and membership expiration date. Thanks,
