TOPEKA, Kan. (Jan. 3, 2017) – The ҹ51xxtv® Board of Directors has finalized its 2017 fee structure for dues, sanctions and insurance. The BoD approved the changes during its December meeting.

Of note is a small $5 increase in dues for both regular and weekend members. Lee Hill, the new ҹ51xxtv Board of Directors Chairman, said the revised membership fee will go into effect March 1, 2017.

“Raising prices is never popular, but in preparing the budget for 2017 it became obvious that some increases were going to be required in order to maintain balance,” Hill said. “The slight membership increase applies to both regular and weekend memberships, and is the first increase in eight years. The decision to change dues was not taken lightly, but was felt to be the most effective and equitable avenue available.”

Sanction and Insurance fees were also finalized and are available for online review .
