Guild Decisions

Membership Dues

        In our 37 years, we have never increased our dues.  Beginning this year, annual dues will be $40.

Scholarship

        Both scholarships remain in place.  The decision was made to increase the amount for each                         scholarship from $500 to $1000, and each is a one time award.  Yearly renewals were eliminated.
