Late Renewal Policies:

Renewal membership payments must be received by April 30 to receive the membership pricing of $40 hardcopy and $20 electronic.

Late membership renewals will need to include an extra $10 as a late fee, whether hardcopy or electronic.

It is preferred that all renewals be received by January 1st of a given year. After April 30th, existing members who have not paid for renewal will be dropped from the club roster and lists, but will be reinstated upon payment for that year, as long as the late fee is included.


Also, as of Jan. 1, 2026, late renewers who had a Hard Copy subscription to The Festivus in the previous year and have not paid dues by the end of January of the current year will not be mailed a hard copy of the new year's February issue of The Festivus, as it is not financially feasible for the club. Late renewers who wish to obtain missed issues of The Festivus from that year will receive them upon payment of dues for that year.

Thank you for paying your renewal fees promptly – the club relies on them in order to produce The Festivus and do the other activities that make this an outstanding club.

NEW memberships will not be penalized $10 regardless of when they join during the year.
