SPECIAL MEMBERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 2022 RENEWING MEMBERS:
The BONS Executive Board has unanimously voted not to collect membership dues for the upcoming 2022 year because we have not been able to meet in person for the year due to the coronavirus.  If you are currently a member in good standing (that is, you paid your single or family membership dues for 2020), your membership is extended until December 31, 2022.  Any new or returning member (after a hiatus) joining after January 1, 2022 will be assessed $15.00 dues.  FYI: membership fees are included in the 2022 new student fee.  If you have any questions, contact membership committee.
