A Message from our Board President
A.A.A.S.L. Members,
Subject: Increase in AAASL annual dues. At our meeting of October 5, 2024, the Board proposed an increase in the annual dues, justifying that the expenditures for the website (management of, domain fees, processing fees), post office box rental, postage, paper and other miscellaneous items, exceeded the total annual dues from the membership. Further, it was noted that because the website imposes a 2.3% processing fee plus $.30 on each transaction, the club actually receives $19.24 instead of $20 for dues payments. After discussion a motion was carried by the membership that we a. increase the annual dues to $30 per year, effective November 1, 2024, and b. that the processing fee on this and all website transactions be included in the cost of the ticket purchase. This new increase does not apply to anyone who has or will have paid this year’s $20 (dues) prior to November 1. They are considered fully paid up. On November 1, 2024, if you use the website for payment, your dues will be $31, which includes the processing fee. If you pay by check via the post office box, there is no processing fee and the payment is $30. Likewise, all future events paid for via the post office box will not have a processing fee. Prices for all future events, including the upcoming Holiday Gala, will include a processing fee when using the website.
Respectfully,
Rosetta Sheer
