| The SCBC Executive Board has decided that your 2020 club dues will also cover your 2021 membership. This decision was reached because many club events were cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic and the funds budgeted for those events were not spent. If you are a paid member for 2020, you will not owe any 2021 membership dues. This includes individual and family memberships. Note: To be a Patron Supporter for 2021, the donation is still: $45.00 Patron - Single Chainring Supporter $55.00 Patron - Double Chainring Supporter $75.00 Patron - Triple Chainring Supporter |
