OBLIGATIONS PROCESS Important Information for the 2019-2020 Membership Year!

At BAYT, members only need to complete an Obligations application once every three years so long as the member’s financial circumstances don’t change, which can be confirmed annually by signing a confirmation form. In other words, when an Obligations application is submitted, membership dues would be set for that year and the next two years (unless otherwise indicated). Of course, any member who had suffered a downturn in their financial situation is free to submit a new Obligations application and ask for a revised assessment.

If your last application was for 2016-2017, please make sure you pick up an Obligations application from the office or download one from the Shul’s website. If you submitted an application for either last year or the year before, and your financial circumstances have not changed, then you can keep your dues at the same level by filling out a confirmation form. All forms (available on our website) are due no later than Wednesday, May 29 if you intend to participate in the seating lottery and Friday, August 30th for everyone else.
