May 1 marks the beginning of the Collectors Society new membership year which runs through April 30, 2002.

This year's Society gift is the Cold Spring Harbor NY lighthouse while the exclusive available for purchase is the Coney Island NY lighthouse.

Membership rates continue to be a bargain with $30 for one year, $58 for two years or $86 for three years.

For the first time, rates are slightly higher for those living outside the US due to the additional cost of shipping Society kits and newsletters.

Rates for Canada and Mexico are $45 US for one year, $73 US for two years or $101 US for three years. Rates in other countries are $55 US for one year, $83 US for two years or $111 US for three years.
