It is now past time for your dues to be in for the 2023 fiscal year.  At this point your dues are considered late.   You can still pay and remain a member, but in addition to the $75 annual fee you also need to include a $25 late fee.  You can pay either via check to the address below or utilize our online Cheddar app to pay with a credit card or direct account transfer.  No cash please.   When using the Cheddar App you will be asked to sign the annual liability waiver as well.  You have until the November monthly meeting on Nov. 1 to pay your dues.  Any member who has not paid their dues by this time will be considered as dropped from the club and get back in the que with any existing waiting list.

If paying by check, please mail to:
Kevin Hanson
466 S Shore Rd
Northville, NY 12134

Even if paying by check, I ask you please log into the cheddar link and acknowledge your payment via check.  This way you will get an immediate receipt and we can keep track of all payments within the Cheddar account and you will be able to sign your annual liability waiver form.
