10.00 for Guilford
15.00 for state.
100.00 extra for Guilford just because you are a nice guy that wants to help the club.

$10 is sure a good deal for dues.
The last treasures report I heard the club had a healthy bank account, not sure $100 would even be noticed. But I can donate a banner and hopefully a nuc come spring but we will see how that goes. I have pollen patties on now to hopefully start some nucs around mid February.

If anyone was to calculate out the value for the dues that they pay I believe they would find that they make money being a member of GCBA.
After 7 years the dues should probably be raised to $12.
The dues allow us to provide the following for club members:
maintain website
drinks, plates, utensils, napkins for dinners
speaker fees and gas reimbursements
newsletter printing and mailing
Field day expenses including main dishes and entertainment
door prizes
purchases such as our sound system
monies to the state to help with the zoo project
Our treasury was almost non-existant 7 years ago. We now have operating capital to do most anything we need.
