A one-time initiation fee to be recommended by the Board and approved by the membership may be established and if established shall be paid by new members joining after the establishment of the fee. The fee shall be ½ of this amount for juniors.

G. Delinquent Dues.

All dues are due and payable the first (1^st) of November. Delinquent members who have not paid their dues by the fifteenth (15^th) of December will be dropped from the membership.  Members with delinquent dues may be reinstated without loss of any previously paid one-time field fees if the delinquent dues are paid by the May meeting following the date they have been dropped from membership.  Persons who have lost their field fee credit under this article may, in individual circumstances, petition the board for reinstatement of the field fee.  The board may consider financial issues, family circumstances, relocation and the like in deciding whether or not to reinstate a field fee.
