Effective 2013 we have raised the annual dues for RCDCA membership from $15 per year to $20. Mailing and printing costs have greatly increased and the RCDCA bank balance has been falling for years so that we cannot continue the trend. In addition several RCDCA members have not been paying their dues; thus, we have contacted them asking them to pay their past dues and to keep current. Many acted and are now fully paid up but several declined to respond and have been removed from the RCDCA membership.
Moving forward we are going to pay much closer attention to those who do not pay their dues. Please take a look at the date on the address label of the envelope that contained your newsletter because it shows the year for which you are paid up; so for example if it says 2011 that means you have not paid for 2012. If you go back dues earlier than 2013 those dues are still $15 per year, note however that we cannot chase people who fail to pay their past & current dues. Members who continue with unpaid dues will be removed from RCDCA membership.
