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 |
