This is a reminder that Annual Dues are due (postmarked) by 1/31 in order to participate in the P4M Program. Annual INDIVIDUAL Membership dues are $10.00, and are the same for a FAMILY membership. An individual membership allows for 1 person to pick plants at the annual Plants for Members Distribution meeting (as long as the rest of the requirements have been met), and a family membership does the same. If more than one person in the family wants to grow plants that are distributed through the Plants for Members program, each individual must have a membership to the club (i.e. 1 member picking = 1 FAMILY membership, but 2 family members picking would require 1 INDIVIDUAL membership and 1 FAMILY (or a 2nd INDIVIDUAL) membership.)

If you are not a member of the club but would like to join and get involved, we would be more than happy to provide you with the membership registration form and talk to you about this fantastic club!! Please email the club account at charlottesvilledaylilyclub@gmail.com for additional information and a membership form. (For security purposes, we do not have the membership form attached to this event as it has a mailing address on it, but we will email you the form upon request.)

Dues can be paid at an upcoming meeting, or mailed to Carol Sarginger (Treasurer.) Again, please be aware that current memberships must be paid by January 31st in order to be eligible for the Plants For Members Program.
