What does membership cost? Membership dues are $48 per year. You can pay your dues annually at $48 total, or by pre-authorized automatic SOCIAL VENTURES CORPORATION bank draft in the amount of $4.50 .monthly. P. O. BOX 58251 HOUSTO~, TEXAS 77058 How does this automatic bank draft work? When you send in your membership application and you have' selected the monthly dues plan, you must also send us a Bank Draft Authorization Card. We will record your account number and forward the card to your bank. Tven, each month, we will prepare a draft on your account in the amount of $4.50. With the authorization card on file, your bank will treat this draft just like a che~k, except that you won't have to .bother with it at all!

Why is the monthly bank draft $4.50 instead of $4.00? The extra 50¢ covers the cost of preparing the drafts each month, and also covers the'service charge that some banks charge us for handling the drafts.
