Rich Ofsuryk reviewed dues changes as follows:
Yearly club dues are $185 which include:
National Fed due $20; Mass Fed Dues $35; Club dues $95 and FLW dues $35.
FLW Membership STARTING 2010 has been changed by FLW to a calendar year (Jan –Dec).
New and renewal membership dues are now payable only through the club. Club members who
have paid for multiple years will be responsible to pay the difference between the months
their membership ends to the end of that calendar year in October of the prior year. As an
example if Member X paid till June 2011 he owes $0 for 2010 and 6 months x $‘s per
month for 2011 which he pays to the club in October of 2010 Member X’s 2010 total club dues
WILL BE 150 (185-35) and his 2011 dues will be $150 +$18(6mo.x $3est.) = $168.
