Membership Dues Special

To help accelerate the association's momentum, we will be extending all $25 annual memberships (including those who previously paid for 2008) through December of 2009. This is a one-time only extension as we aggressively grow our membership and social and community participation. Please plan on adding your support to our new group of officers, volunteers, and members, as well as to the continuing work of our long-time members. To join, please complete the membership form on the website or, for more information, please contact one of the officers (contact information for each is on our home page). We also encourage you to join us on Tuesday, July 22nd for our next Quarterly Association meeting (open to members and non-members) where you can get a better sense for the direction of the current group and the value your $25 annual membership will deliver. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at one of our upcoming events.
