   The Perfect Holiday Gift for Friends:             A Membership in the ESU

Dear ESU Kansas City Members—

The ESU Kansas City Branch is offering a special 6-month Holiday ESU Gift of Membership for new members good through June 30, 2017 (the end of our fiscal year) at these discounted introductory rates:

$35 for a Single Membership

$50 for a Couple Membership

If you're looking for a unique gift for that special person who…

● Enjoys stimulating educational lectures by locally and internationally prominent guest speakers on a wide variety of topics, or

● Likes to attend plays, concerts and other performing arts programs, or

● Enjoys social gatherings, or

● Enjoys participating in volunteer experiences that make a difference in the lives of students and teachers, or

● Appreciates the importance of promoting the English language…

Then, what could be a better gift than a special introductory Gift of Membership in our own ESU Kansas City Branch?

This would be a GREAT GIFT for---

● A friend of yours who has been thinking of joining the ESU, or

● A relative, young or older, who you know would enjoy the benefits of an ESU membership, or

● A student in high school or college whose course-work would be compatible with our ESU activities and goals as an organization such as a major in Theatre Arts, English, Debate, History, Humanities, Linguistics etc.

This will allow the gift recipient to participate in all remaining ESU activities through the end of the fiscal year--and we have many great events planned such as our Annual Holiday Brunch on January 15, 2017 and our biggest event of the year--our 33rd Annual Shakespeare Competition on Sunday, February 19, 2017, and other surprises coming as well!

Please take a moment to think about those you know who would enjoy this Gift of Membership in the ESU Kansas City Branch. This would be a great gift for a younger person on your gift list. This is not only a unique gift idea but also a way to expand and grow our membership base. Don't forget the December 17, 2016, deadline for returning the attached Gift of Membership Enrollment Form (Click here).
