(3) Real Sons are exempt from paying both International and Division annual dues and may be exempted from paying Camp dues in accordance with the respective camp’s policy.

 To assure that your Compatriots receive the next issue of Confederate Veteran and of Jeff Davis Legion please be sure that dues are paid promptly.


Proration
In the second half of the fiscal year International dues can be prorated.  However remember that this prorated dues option is only available when the member pays dues for both the current and next fiscal years. There is not an option to pay only the partial dues for remainder of the current fiscal year.



If someone joins or is reinstated in February, March, or April 2008 (which is the 3rd quarter of the fiscal year) he can pay his current $20 annual dues plus the $5 processing fee or he has the option to pay an additional $15 to initially join for both the current fiscal year as well as the next fiscal year, meaning his dues will be paid through July 31, 2009.
Amount paid Membership expires Or About
$25.00 July 31, 2008 $5.50 a month
$40.00 July 31, 2009 $2.30 a month
