DUES
2010-2011
Dues
for 2010-2011 are due June 1, 2010.
National dues are $49; State dues
are $8, and Branch dues are $9, for a total of $66.
Paid life members
are exempt from payment of National dues but continue to pay State and Branch
dues ($17). Fifty-year life members are exempt from payment of National, State,
and Branch dues, although some continue to make contributions.
Student
Affiliate Members pay $17 National dues, $0 State dues, and $1 Branch dues.
Dues from new member joining after March 15 cover the next fiscal year.
Oak Ridge Branch dues have been $9 per year for more than ten years.
Dues are the main source of income in our operating budget which
includes the yearbook, newsletter, and meeting facilities. Members have come to
expect and appreciate the level of quality we have achieved in our publications
and general meeting programs.
However, we must deal with the fact that
income from dues is insufficient to maintain the excellence we have achieved.
Instead of increasing Branch dues, the Board is asking for voluntary
contributions to the operating budget. Your generous contributions last year
made it possible to fund our operating budget for the current 2009-2010 fiscal
year.
When you pay dues for the coming year, you may contribute to the
Educational Opportunity Fund and the Local Education Projects Fund, as well as
the Branch Operating Fund. Contributions to the Educational Opportunity Fund
and part of the National Dues ($46 for Regular Members and $17 for Student
Affiliate Members) are tax deductible.
Contributions to the Local
Education Projects Fund, the Branch Operating Fund, Local Dues and State Dues
are not tax deductible. aauwoakridge@aauw-oakridge.org
