As long as you renew your membership in consecutive years, you will always be a Charter Member. In addition to the regular membership benefits, you will:
 | Be able to renew at a reduced rate. |
 | Have first option of registering for classes at "Special Editions" in addition to one other Festival. |
 | Receive mailings when other benefits are offered. |
Your benefits continue as soon as you renew. We do not send out separate renewal "billings."
This is your reminder to send in your renewal fee to continue your Charter Membership Benefits. You may also renew when you register for classes. However, if we send out mailings not included in the GUIDE, we will only be able to send them to current Charter Members. Until you renew, you are not current.
   
Your 1997 Charter Member Renewal fee is $20. We can take your renewal fee by phone! You may also send a check by mail. You do not need a special form, just be sure to note what it is for and we'll take care of the rest.
Renewal Fees Guaranteed:
 | 1997 Members: can renew their membership in 1998 for $25. |
 | Charter Members who renew without a lapse can renew in 1998 for $20. |
