I just got a notice, but my membership expires in July, so it is ok.
What bugs me is those contributions on the bottom:
Contribution: WBGH $15
Optional Contribution $15
Is the WBGH contribution mandatory? I really dislike this entire idea of
contributions already added into my total. (The ACM isn't the only one
doing this, the AMS [American Math Society] does the same). In fact, it
annoys me so much that I always cross them out and don't have to feel guilty
for not contributing ("If they would have only asked me nicely, I would
have...")
