NOTE: Consider delaying a month or so to join. Here is why: membership dues are not prorated for a half-year term. The Society's memberships run on the calendar year, i.e., not 12 months after your join date. You'll get more for your membership dollar if you delay and join after we put the 2025 rates in place (mid-August 2024); this way your membership will expire on 31 December 2025.
