TXSSAR ANNUAL DUES
By now each Compatriot of the Texas Society has received his dues
notice. And each Compatriot by now should have already mailed their
checks to Frank Gibson in Austin. However, if you have not done so, you
are receiving demand letters and will continue to receive them through
March 1996 and possibly beyond.
If you plan to attend the State Convention in Galveston, your dues
must be paid before the Convention begins on March 8. Those Compatri-
ots who plan on becoming Chapter Officers must have paid their dues by
1 March 1996.
The 1996 Dues are $37.00, depending on how many dual chapter
memberships you have, up to March 31, 1996. After that date, it will be
necessary to include an additional $8 for reinstatement for a total of $45.
