**** Important Membership Information ****

MEMBERSHIP DUES ARE DUE

Have you paid your annual membership dues?  As a reminder, the Board of Directors has approved a membership 

dues increase effective with the 2017 membership year.  The membership dues have not been increased in over 16 

years.  New dues rates are as follows:

Jr. Membership - $10.00

Associate Member - $40.00

Individual Membership - $50.00 (formerly $40.00)

Household Membership - $60.00 (formerly $50.00)

Club Membership - $60.00 (formerly $50.00)

(Foreign Memberships – Add $10 for Canada/Mexico and $20 for Other Countries for Saber Tails Mailing)

Membership Year is January to December

Associate Membership:   All new members after July 1, 2016 join at the Associate Membership Level.  Associate 

members enjoy all the privileges and duties of the Club except for the right to vote and hold office or to chair 

committees.  Current individual or household members may elect to convert to associate membership to avoid this 

increase in dues but will no longer be able to vote or hold office.
Individual and Household Membership:  These types of memberships remain unchanged under the new Constitution 

and By-Laws.  These members enjoy all the privileges and duties of the Club including the right to vote, hold office and 

chair committees.  Any person who has held voting membership in the past shall have the requirement for one year 

Associate Membership waived should their membership lapse and they wish to rejoin PBGVCA.
