It’s that time of the year when we get to pay our dues for the next year. I would like to remind everybody that the club works on a fiscal year, which is the same as the calendar year. So the dues that are coming due are for the calendar fiscal year of 2025, so we would like to keep the dues payments in that calendar fiscal year. In other words, you cannot pay your dues before January 1st.
