Why We Do Dues?

Cute title, eh?

For our newer members, we have a voluntary $5/month component. Why do we have dues? For three main reasons:
  1. For projects like a Christmas angel tree or gift giving program, this will allow us to sponsor a child or family.
  2. To donate funds to some of the charitable organizations that we volunteer with
  3. To send cards to members who are grieving the loss of a loved one or to help honor a member's birthday.
If the $5/month assessment is a financial burden, then please do not let that keep you from volunteering. For example, one of our members has just been laid off, so it is completely understandable if she cannot pay. But I strongly encourage all of you who can afford it, to catch up with our dues, so that we can fulfill items 1,2 and 3 listed above.

Concerning our dues, Miss Stacia Davis has graciously agreed to serve as our "money person". (No, that doesn't mean she will pay all of the money!!). She will keep the records and write any checks as needed.

Thanks to everyone who has gone out and worked the various projects. Please consider honoring the financial part of our commitment to the Yes We Will Volunteers as well.
