Moss Society News
Patience seems to be an undocumented side effect of covid 19. All of us in the Moss Society office are waiting for our delayed porcelain shipment. This particular shortage adversely affects our ability to produce Adult membership brooches. However, we are grateful to still be here with all of you. The porcelain delay has not affected Pat’s design capabilities and we would like to share the images selected for 2022 membership renewals, including the Members-Only prints.
The 2022 Adult member brooch. Please note that adult members may purchase an additional membership brooch for either the adult or junior membership at the price of $20 each.
The 2022 Junior member brooch.
Seaside Respite, $80. The adult members only print comes with your Society membership number on it.
Seaside Friends, $50. This print was created exclusively for our Junior members, ages 0-19. Adult members wishing to purchase a Junior member print will need to purchase a junior membership for that year. Junior membership is $28.
Moss Foundation News
