<p>A dozen years ago we set the dues at $36 (raising them from $35)
for the purpose of prorating them at $3.00/month for new members.
Existing members were not allowed to game the system by delaying
their payment to March or April. j<br>

Thoughts on membership
<div>I think that two guest meetings then membership should be
expected. I also believe that at the time of joining the dues
amount are prorated for the next number of months left in that
calendar year. IE: join in March pay dues equal to 10 months.

or scholarship memberships should be available as options. </div>

<div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">I know many clubs that
membership requires a number of volunteer hours contributed
per year. I would like to talk about this idea for next
year.</div>
<div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">Hours could be
demonstrating, setting up av, writing for the newsletter,
being an official visitor to another club, community outreach
or other club activities. </div>

responsibility to the club to actively participate for the
betterment and growth of the club. Pam </div>
