MO-AG has initiated a new dues system. The first change is that dues will be collected from all members with a due date of January 1. In the past, members have paid each year in the month they first joined. Invoices have been sent this year to current members who will be asked to pay a pro-rated amount that will cover their dues until December 31, 2008. Their next dues payment will be due January 1, 2009. The second change is that the MO-AG Board of Directors voted to increase dues in order to offer more to members in addition to all that we already do. Click here for the new membership dues application. You can find more information about these changes in this letter.
