Communications
Membership
Publicity

Dues:
Annual dues are $15.00 for one or $25.00 for a couple. Be aware that we don't "charge single people more": $10.00 of the dues goes into the general treasury; $5.00 goes to pay for the newsletter. A single member pays $10.00 into the treasury and $5.00 for one newsletter: $10.00 + $5.00 = $15.00. A couple pays $10.00 each into the treasury and $5.00 for one newsletter: $10.00 + $10.00 = $20.00 + $5.00 = $25.00. Everyone is paying the same, but a couple gets to share one newsletter. Checks may be mailed to the club at P.O. Box 8693, Hot Springs, AR 71910.
