RAFINO DUES

We have had many inquires and comments concerning dues. I will try to cover the subject.

I. Dues are $10 a year and can be paid in advance.

2. Finance surviving spouses do not owe dues.

3. The dues year is the calendar year.

4. Dues are delinquent after 31 March of the dues year.

5. The Treasurer does not send out a bill as a matter of economy. Postage is expensive. Notices will appear on the web site, but it is assumed that dues will be paid on time.

6. Notices of delinquency will be sent out since we do not want to lose members needlessly. One such letter is being prepared to go out in July 2002.

7. Current dues status is shown in the individual record of each member in the web roster. The roster is a secure area that requires a member password to access it.

8. Mail your dues to Dave Mikkelson, the treasurer, at the address shown in the left column of this page.

9. The established dues amount does not cover our annual expenses. Fortunately we have some funds from prior years and some members send in donations to help offset this shortfall.
