IMPORTANT: For those with Annual (vs. Life) memberships, the yearly membership cycle runs concurrent with our fiscal year: April 1 to March 31. All Annual memberships are on the same renewal schedule, regardless of when you joined the organization.  As our dues are modest, we don’t “prorate” membership payments, but the Membership Chair may, at their discretion, add a few months to a member who joins late in the membership cycle.

The above dues were effective April 1, 2025.
 Dues payments are tax-deductible.
