Are you current on your club dues?
According to our esteemed club treasurer, Bridget Meyer, nearly two dozen of us are 30 days or more delinquent on membership dues. For most folks, it's simply an oversight. Do you know how much, if anything, you owe? Are you able to play your total bill this month? If you have questions and/or want to make sure you're paid up, email Bridget at Bridget.L.Meyer@wellsfargo.com.
