Dear Parent or Guardian,

Your pre-teen age child has contacted us requesting admission to the American Gerbil Society, Inc. (AGS) as a junior member. Current AGS policy requires all pre-teen age applicants to obtain written permission from a parent or legal guardian as a requirement for membership. Junior members pay half the annual dues of full members. All information is kept strictly confidential and is not shared with third parties.

The AGS is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating gerbil breeders, caregivers and enthusiasts. Our members come from diverse backgrounds and varied ages from pre-teens to senior citizens. AGS members enjoy access to the AGS Yahoo! Discussion List (not a chat room), which provides an entertaining and enriching forum for the exchange of information. The AGS Executive Board carefully moderates both for content.

Sincerely,
Donna Anastasi,
President,
American Gerbil Society Inc.

I, the undersigned, acknowledge that I am the parent or legal guardian of _______________________________,

who is under the age of thirteen (13) years. I hereby grant permission for him/her, to become a junior member of the AGS.

I also acknowledge that neither I nor _______________________________, have been solicited in any

manner by the AGS to join. I except the responsibility of paying the yearly AGS dues, and understand they are non-refundable.

THIS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION
