MAAST [Charter] Membership
Membership dues are what makes everything of MAAST possible.
Dues are $25 for the calendar year (Jan 1 to Dec 31). Starting in September, this is pro-rated to include the remaining year and the next additional year. These dues quickly pay for themselves by the discounts given that many local stores honor to MAAST members.
We are trying to make our club better, bringing more educational topics, more door prizes and raffle items, and guest speakers. We also have the routine maintenance items like the website, food for meetings, membership dues to national marine organizations, and print/publication fee's. Membership dues allow our club to keep afloat. and make all of this possible. As always, the website portion of the club will remain free.
Why collect dues?
1. Keeps MAAST afloat.
2. Funds club meetings so host does not have to pay for all out of pocket.
3. Allows for an image gallery on MAAST website.
4. Extra funds go into pool for "expert" speakers at the meetings.
5. Higher quality raffles, higher quality meetings, higher quality club!
6. Eligibility to run for a club office or be appointed to a committee.
7. Eligibility to VOTE!
8. Discounts at participating LFS's and online vendors.
9. A membership card (even better quality coming soon!!)
10. A voice to represent aquarists' interest.
