The stoneware jar where I keep magazines I don't want to throw out right away has several issues of the P.E.O. Record, and several editions of catalogs from Vermont Country Store and L. L. Bean, but no paper copy of the Q. That's what I get for tidying up. Therefore I can't find my membership number.

I do, however, have my LMAD card. It is heavy stock, originally gray but now quite yellowed around the edges. I carried it in my wallet for years but now have it pinned to the bulletin board above my desk. The serial number on that is 35770.

I actually saw my small card today, I got a frame as a gift that was the perfect size and it is on my desk. On the back of the Spring 2011 issue of The Quarterly the bottom half of the page has an explanation of how to find your member number, and what the two part code means. I don't have it in front of me for the exact wording, so let me know if you want me to scan it or to tell you the exact words used.

I'm trying to remember what that collegian did to come up with some answer to the first part of our number. I'm really guessing here, but I think it might have been chapters in alphabetical order by school name, then the second being the number initiated into the chapter. If that was the case then every chapter after a certain point would not be in alphabetical order, and with schools changing names, that could get interesting. Maybe it was done by province? The only thing that is the most logical (for me) would be in order of installation, as the only hiccup would be a recolonization but chapters never really disappear, they are just resolved and can exist as alumnae chapters until there are no longer any alumnae. I can only think of one chapter that is closed where the school no longer exists in some form, even if the name of the school changed, and that one school is quite recent.

Yep, it's your chapter number-your initiation number! I'm pretty sure it's in order of installation, though I also have no idea how they account for recolonisations
