From kholland at umd.umich.edu Thu Sep 21 16:03:17 2006 From: kholland at umd.umich.edu (Karen Holland) Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2006 16:03:17 -0400 Subject: [D28_community] It's Dues Time! Message-ID: <4512F005.1070301@umd.umich.edu> Ah, September! Children (and some adults) are back in school. Days are getting shorter?nights are getting cooler?and Toastmasters club Treasurers need to COLLECT THE DUES! The current fee structure is: Dues: $27, payable to TI every six months* New Member Fee: $20 New Club Charter Fee: $125 * Plus the collection of any club dues, if applicable. Dues are ?due? to TI by October 1, 2006, but may be paid on-line at www.toastmasters.org. While it?s fabulous if a club can pay for all of its members at once, sometimes we find ourselves chasing down one or two members who always forget to bring their checkbooks to the meeting. PLEASE submit the payments you have before the October 1 deadline, and submit the others when you can. (Note: TI requires that the first batch of dues payments cover a minimum of six members. There is no minimum for subsequent payments.) If you have any questions or concerns about collecting dues for your club, please talk to your Area Governor, or contact LGM Vicki Brannon at LGM at d28toastmasters.org Thank you!
