SPECIAL INCENTIVE TO RENEW DURING JULY:  All current members whose renewal dues are received between 1 July and 31 July will be entered into a drawing where one lucky winner will have their one-year annual dues of $45.00 returned to them. Note: you are not eligible for the drawing if your dues are received before 1 July or after 31 July. Paying your renewal dues before the start of the renewal period might seem like a good proactive thing to do, but it is administratively cumbersome for the club. We will accept early payments, but why not wait until 1 July and have a chance to get your dues back?

Once you've completed the online application, you will be given the option to proceed to the payment page. You may come back to this online payment step at any time if you're not ready now.
