AHSAA Membership FAQ

When does my membership expire?

The easiest way to find out is to look at the mailing label on your most recent AHSAA newsletter. There are two or three numbers above your name.
  • If there are two numbers, they are your graduation number and graduation year. If there are only two numbers, then you are not a current member of the AHSAA. Join
  • If there are three numbers, the third number is the year your membership expires.

I'm not a member and I received a newsletter?

Even if you are not a member, we will send you the first AHSAA newsletter of the year. Why do we do this?
  1. We like to keep in contact with you.
  2. We want you to keep your membership active.
  3. In case you have moved, we send all newsletters 1st class postage and we will usually receive your new address back from the post office.

Hey! I haven't received any newsletters for a long time?

If you are an AHS Alumni, and you are not receiving at least one newsletter per year, then we do not have your current mailing address, email AHSAA your updated mailing address, or you can send your updated mailing address to AHSAA 1921 Ames High Drive, Ames, Iowa 50010. Be sure and tell us what year you graduated, your full name, and maiden name, and while your at it, your email address. If you have any AHS stories from the "good 'ol days" we like to hear those too, and some of them will make it into our newsletter.

My Parents forgot to give me my 10 year reunion info and I missed my reunion!

Hmmm... after all these years :-) we understand, your busy and you haven't updated your address since AHS days, and the newsletter and all reunion mailings are still being delivered in care of your parents address. All reunions get Alumni address lists from the AHSAA. Its a free service we provide to all reunion committees, and we are happy to do that. Email your updated address to us, or mail it.  If you are getting your newsletters in c/o your parents address and they move there is a higher chance that we will lose your address.

How many newsletters will I receive if I am a member?

Current AHSAA members receive two additional newsletters each year. These newsletters are not posted on www.ahsalum.org for at least 3 to 5 years. If you are not a member we would love to have you join.
