MEMBERSHIP
"Our membership is presently 139 members. If each of us brought one guest during the year to the General Meeting or Study group, we would have a potential of reaching 139 new possible members! Please contact Maryette or Rosemary if you are aware of a newsletter or bulletin board where our meeting schedule could be posted."
2007-2008 Dues
Dues are $74.00 (becuase the national dues increased by $2.00) of which $47 is sent to the National Association, $7 is sent to the State, and $20 remain for use by the Rochester Branch. If you are 70 years of age or older and have been a member for 5 years or more, you do not have to pay the local dues; however, the branch welcomes any contribution you care to make to support the Highlights monthly bulletin and the work of the branch. Student affiliate dues will be $29-30. If you wish, you may pay life membership dues to the Association, a one-time payment of $940 ($47 x 20). Paid life members are forever relieved of Association dues (and periodic increases), but must continue to pay branch and state dues.
Any member who has paid Association dues for 50 years can become an Honorary Life Member and pay no further dues. Please contact the membership treasurer if you feel you qualify.
Membership dues or gifts to AAUW are not deductible as charitable contributions for income tax purposes. However, your dues may be deductible as a business expense.
