Dues Increase
Our February Stated Communication was very important. In our last Trestleboard, Brethren received notice that we would vote on a motion to raise dues to a total of $113.00. A counter was proposed in Communication to raise dues to $100.00 per annum vice $113.00. The Brethren voted in the affirmative. Begininng in 2013, Brethren will pay dues in the amount of $100.00. Please begin to plan accordingly.
