A member directed us to this thread, so we'll try to resolve any issues. First, our apologies if we've missed some emails but we do our best to respond to all inquiries and concerns. There is always a chance an email may not have gone through, so if the first goes unanswered, it's always a good idea to try a second time. We also occasionally cannot respond to emails sent through our website as the sender may have entered his/her email incorrectly so we cannot reply.
We cannot rehash what happened in January 2013, but there were certainly problems. If newsletters were discontinued, it certainly was not done by USARK. Anyone desiring to be on our email list can do so in about 10 seconds. On the right side of the page at
www.USARK.org, there is a simple form. You simply type your email address and state, then hit "Subscribe." Members should also be signed up automatically after joining.
We can check the status of memberships with an email to
Contact@usark.org. Memberships are annual, so once we get the date of original membership, dues should be renewed then. We appreciate all members.
All newsletters are posted on our homepage for those who would like to catch up. We also have many educational and entertaining posts on our Facebook page at

Have a good day.
