New Seniors Dues Discount Rate Becomes Effective
January 1, 2010
A small change takes effect on January 1 that will change the dues discount rate offered senior members in the future. Current senior members will not be affected by the change.
Eligibility criteria for the seniors dues discount remain the same: a reduced rate is offered after a member has reached his seventieth birthday and has accumulated a total of ten years of membership in the Barbershop Harmony Society.
All members qualifying under these criteria before January 1, 2010 will be classified as "Seniors Legacy" (code SL on your membership invoice) and will continue to receive a 50% discount on BHS Dues.
Members qualifying on or after January 1, 2010 will be classified as "Seniors" (code SN) and enjoy a 25% discount on BHS Dues.
Chapters and Districts may elect to set their dues according to these criteria as they choose. Either way, they should affirmatively set rates for each of these dues classes in the Chapter Dues Pricing section of the ebiz.barbershop.org website. Even if the rates will be same for both classes, you will need to make an entry so that your chapter's preferences are made clear.
Take the opportunity to review that all the dues rates set by your chapter are properly listed.
