*New Membership Dues Policy*

Because of Chapter Dues not being paid on time and the additional costs and man-hours of these late payments to The Chapter, a new Dues Policy was approved by The Fred-Rapp Chapter Board.

Key items from the new Dues Policy:

• As stated on the back of our Membership Cards, Dues are due no later than December 31st of Each Year.
• If due are not paid by December 31st, a late fee of $10.00 per month will be added for up to three months until the dues are paid.
• If the dues are not paid by March 31st, the member will be EXPELLED from active membership.
• Expelled Individuals will have to Reapply for Membership & Pay the Current Initiation Fee AND the Current Membership Dues for that year.
