It's time to pay your Dues!
PSC operates on a calendar year.
This means that everyone's membership needs be renewed each January,
regardless of when you joined. If you have a question about the status
of your membership, contact the Membership
Secretary. By paying your dues promptly, you not only save
money, but it will ensure that your name will appear
in the directory and that you will not miss any issues of the
newsletter. Your renewal must be received by March 3 in
order for you to be included in the annual directory and receive
further newsletters.
