As always, the New Year reminds us that Chapter dues are due in January. Please note that effective January 1, 2017, the annual Chapter dues are now $15. As you’ll recall, we had asked for feedback regarding an increase, and the Board of Directors voted to go ahead with the increase at our December monthly meeting.
