    Last chance for dues

    Many members still owe 2006 dues. By April 14, we will have entered current paid members info in the database, and then will send it to the Roster for printing. So please check your records and see if you paid. If not, please remit IMMEDIATELY. Do not pay twice — we have no way to refund the money and no way to keep track of it for next year. Please contact Executive Director Diane McGurgan if you have any questions about your status.

We welcome your comments on the redesign.
