DUES

Dues for members living in North America are $21 per year; dues for members living overseas are $27 because of the higher costs to airmail the China Clipper magazine. All memberships include a subscription to the China Clipper. Memberships are not cancelable.

The membership period begins on October 1st of each year and first-year dues are based upon when you join and run for varying numbers of months (and numbers of issues of the magazine) so the renewal will be on an October 1st.
