Annual Membership dues are $70 per member. A courtesy letter is sent out to remind any member who may be delinquent in paying their annual dues.  If after several attempts a member still hasn’t paid his or her dues by March 31st of the designated year, they will become delinquent and the Lodge will be forced to drop the member from its rolls.
