Membership Fees, Game Fees, Assignor Fees Membership fees are as follows:
We have an exciting early bird registration discount waiting for you. We're thrilled to share that the registration fees for this year are going down for returning members. This is due to years of budget savings by the board, as well as not needing to buy new rules or case books for the 2024 season. We are told the changes to the rules and case books this year will be minimal and editorial in nature.
The 2024 returning member registration fees will be:
$100 Early Bird, April 1-June 15
$140 June 16-July 31
$170 August 1 and after
New members will continue to pay $90, and transfer members will pay $100. New members will receive rules and case books, as well as a mechanics manual.
We are also moving to an all-electronic payment system. This adds another level of transparency for audits, ensures a "paper" trail for every payment made by members, and reduces the amount of work for the treasurer, which will help in recruiting of future candidates.
Here are the ways to pay:
ZELLE
Send Zelle payments to: cfoala@gmail.com
PAYPAL
Go to this link and "send" payment: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/cfoala
