2019-2020 Good Samaritan Home Association Membership

From the desk of Sarah Vahlkamp, Director of Development and Public Relations

   Several people have asked what they need to do to be invited to the Annual Meeting in October.  You just need to become an Association Member.  Becoming a Member of The Good Samaritan Home Association is how YOU support the Programs and Services of Our Home.  We always welcome new members.  If you haven’t given in the past, please consider starting.  

   Memberships are individual, so a couple needs to give individually.  Memberships are made on a fiscal year basis starting October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020.

   To pay your 2019-2020 Annual Association Membership, please contact me at 217-223-8717, ext. 4240.
