ATTENTION MEMBERS and COOKOFF CHAIRMEN
Since 2001, the annual maintenance fee for Lifetime Members has
remained at $25 and the annual fee for Charter Members at $42. Over the past seven years, nearly every operating cost has steadily increased resulting in
the need for the annual maintenance fee to be increased to $30 and the charter membership fee to $50. This change is effective as of December 1, 2008.
