Membership in the Society is open to all individuals in sympathy with its purpose. Renewals are due and payable in January of each year.
Membership dues are $20.00 for 2012.
At our March 15, 2011 meeting, those in attendance voted to affirm two recommendations made by our Board of Directors:
(1) to increase our annual dues, beginning with 2012 dues, to $20.00 per year, and,
(2) beginning in 2012, to impose a late charge of $3.00 to those who pay their dues after March 1.
This late charge will cover the additional amount it costs to mail the Spring Journal to someone whose dues were not paid in time to be included in the bulk mailing.
Membership follows the calendar year - January through December.
New members who join mid-year will receive both the Spring and Fall Journals
for the year in which they join.
