5. We are considered a club and have a limited budget. Going to tournaments cost quit a bit of money from registration fees, buses, etc. Because of the size of the program and the amount of tournaments we would like to go to, we will be requiring each member to pay dues. Each Member is responsible for paying 200 dollars. It can be paid all at once or divided into monthly installments ($30-35) until the 200 is met. If paying in monthly installments they must be paided each month in order to go to that months tournament. Ex. In order to go to our first tournament in October you must have paid either all 200 or your first monthly installment before Oct. 23 rd. DUES
