*$20 new member fee is not applicable for dual, reinstated, renewing,
or transfer members.
**Dues renewals are collected twice a year. We have added the $60
renewal amount to the prorated fees during the months we would be
collecting the renewal dues.
Credit cards may be used to process Toastmasters
International dues only ($20 + $4.50 per month), and checks or cash
would be needed to cover the club dues ($5.50 per month). However,
our preferred method of payment is a check to cover both International
and club dues at one time.
This
membership fee may be tax-deductible. If this membership fee would
cause financial hardship, please talk to an officer about it and
we will try to work something out with you. It is not our desire
to see anyone with a genuine desire and firm commitment to partcipate
not be able to do so for financial reasons. |
