Parental Permission Form For Junior Membership

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 Discussion Board (not a chat room) and the AGS E-Mail List, both of which provide an entertaining and enriching forum for the exchange of information. The AGS Executive Board carefully moderates both for content.

Sincerely,
Janet Morrow
President
American Gerbil Society Inc.
