Treasurer Todd Sholeen will be sending out a reminder to the approximately 10 members that have not as yet paid their 1Q20 dues. He also reminded everyone, it is possible NOW to pay your dues through the DONATE button on the website, just make certain you indicate in the Comments/ Description section that the payment is for dues. Work is also underway to create a link from the dues Email allowing members to immediately pay online from the link. This will expedite the process and eliminate the regular mail.
