The initial
membership fee in the Brantley Association of America is $16.50. When one joins the association he/she becomes a member for
life. While membership dues
have been routine in the past, no membership dues for the calendar year
2002 will be assessed except for the Ambassador List shown below. We
are hopeful that the contributions of dedicated members and kinsman,
along with publication sales, will provide the necessary funds to
maintain the association. (See Ambassador List below)
Memberships
are classified as "active" or "inactive." If a
member does not pay dues for a given year, when dues are assessed, that
member is considered "inactive" and will not receive
correspondence.
