Interesting how times have changed. Just wanted to share  |
Yes, this is why we celebrate anniversaries the way we do for the calndar year (runs June to July). For example, if I am celebrating 50 year members, I would celebrate those initiated in 1957 and not 1956. Because members used to be initated in 3 months (hence rolling into the next year).
