Updates in Process ==============================================

EASY to Join at any time

While dues are considered annual, please join us at any time. If you are joining later in the year we will prorate dues to cover the time that you start, typically with the first full month of your membership. So joining us on July 16 means we would prorate annual dues for August through December.

We encourage new members to join at the Dana level if they are able. See the form below.
