Local Dues

The national office returns to us about $6 of the annual national dues of each active full member, and until recently this has been our only significant source of annual funding. While we get nothing from the national office for our student members, we feel that our activities with students are at the heart of our mission.

Most local chapters assess local dues. In 2004 we found it necessary to follow suit. Much of our programming is funded by these local dues. While we strongly encourage everyone to maintain national membership, those of you who have lapsed your national membership can still support the John Deere chapter by paying local dues.

The local annual dues are for all full and associate members and are collected in the spring.  It should be noted that student members are exempt.

Please send your check for $10 payable to the John Deere Chapter of Sigma Xi to our secretary-treasurer or give him your check at the next meeting.  Thank you!
