I'm member # 5925 and am wondering about what year that would make it that I joined the AAW. I joined at the Indianapolis woodworking show but can't remember what year that was. I work at a Woodcraft Store and we were talking about it today.
That would be July 2008
If you joined without her blessing, she'd remember..... even the wife can't remember, now that's weird ...
What is the member number range this year? Any recent members?

John do you mind sharing your number? I don't know when I joined but my number is 1210
Mine is 1835 I think.

I'm not sure if the date of AAW membership is always accurate. In my case, I'm pretty sure I joined in 2003, but I allowed my membership to lapse (I tried to renew online and didn't notice that my renewal bounced). When I rejoined, I was given a new AAW number and a new join date.
John - member number #1928. BTW the member number is printed on the journal label.
I feel pretty good about being ahead of John with something. My number is 1241. I still do a little name dropping once and a while when I tell them I learned that at my John Jordan class.
You need to get out some, Dick.

I don't have a problem remembering my join date. I joined AAW a month after it was formed at Arrowmont in 1986. A friend attended that gathering and came home and told me about it.
I have a collection of every copy of the Journal. The first few were mimeographed and were just a few pages.

That's a fantasitic jump in membership. To whom should such progress be attributed?
