DUES
• We are considered a club and have a limited budget.
• Going to tournaments cost quit a bit of money from registration fees,
buses, etc.
• Because of the size of the program and the amount of tournaments
we would like to go to, we will be requiring each member to pay
dues.
• Each Member is responsible for paying 200 dollars. It can be paid all
at once or divided into monthly installments ($30-35) until the 200 is
met.
• If paying in monthly installments they must be paided each month in
order to go to that months tournament. Ex. In order to go to our first
tournament in October you must have paid either all 200 or your first
monthly installment before Oct. 23rd.
