BFNA Official Genealogy Website - a 501(c)3 non profit organization
The BLAISDELL FAMILY NATIONAL ASSOCIATION worked over the past twenty years to keep annual dues at the lowest level. Rising costs for printing and mailing THE BLAISDELL PAPERS added to increasing the number of libraries receiving issues and the maintenance updating of our website make it impossible to continue at the 2022 Annual Membership rate.
The global pandemic caused significant disruptions in the supply chain and increased the cost of living and of doing our work. The cost of everything has gone up. Our printer has secured necessary supplies to handle our June 2022 issue. We are fortunate to have an excellent provider.
Our current dues structure has been in place since June 2003. Effective with January 2023 Membership renewal, dues will increase to $25, Gift Membership moving to $20. This allows continuing stewardship of the Blaisdell heritage.
Questions or comments on Annual Membership may be directed to our Treasurer, Everett Curry bfna.treasurer@gmail.com.
