Dear Barbara:
I am glad to hear that Kerr County is considering membership in the only national organization that represents
county interests on Capito] Hill -The National Association of Counties (NACo). We believe that we have an excellent
array of benefits to offer Kerr County and hope that your county will seriously consider NACo membership.
NACo's only constituency is county officials and our memhers ate made up of county-type governments. We
presently have over 68% of the nation's 3,066 counties as members (representing over 80°/ of the U.S. population) and we
would be honored to add yow~ county's name to our exclusive roster of members.
NACo's primary activity is to represent counties before Congress and the Administration. During the past 10
years NACo has a 75 percent success rate on its legislative priorities. Our effort on legislative issues not only produces
revenue for counties, but also stops some programs that would have added costs to counties and their citizens. We are
proud of our legislative successes on behalf of our member counties and with the additional support of counties such as
yours, NACo can someday speak for all counties throughout the nation. Additionally, NACo has taken the lead in raising
the awareness of the growing methamphetarrtine issue in the US. NACo's survey on meth garnered national attention
and helped push Congress and the Administration into taking action in curbing meth use. County governments are on
.~. the front-lines in responding to this crisis, and NACo will continue to work with our members and the federal govenrment to
eradicate this problem.
NACo's contract with Office Depot provides counties with up to a 71% discount on office supplies and
products in its business catalog. Most counties can save more than their membership dues by utilizing this one program
only, but membership has many more programs to offer. Our prescription drug discount card program can help your
citizens save money on prescription drugs. If you have questions about any specific program mentioned in this mailing,
feel free to call the contact listed or the membership department for more information.
I have also included an invoice fur membership in this mailing. Kerr County's 2006 dues are $776. Tlus is but a
small investment when you oonsider the dollar savings your county will receive. Please contact me at elandstnan~;naco.org
or 1202) 942-4242 should you have any questions regarding NACo membership. Loin NACo today and start reaping the
benefits:

P.S. In order to provide an incentive for Ken County to become a member of NACo, [would like to offer your county one
Cree conference registration (a $690 value) to any NACo Conference. We hope to have Ken County as a member!
