3.                 Yearly dues will be determined by the membership.  New members will pay a pro-rated portion of the annual dues based on the number of months remaining in the fiscal year.  The fiscal year is from May through April.  Annual dues will be collected beginning in January for the following year.  Any member who has not paid his/her dues by the end of March will be dropped from the roster.  Active military personnel are exempt from paying duties when they are deployed away from Jacksonville; there is no charge for guests.
