seattle modern quilt guild 
I would suggest have a half year membership for NEW members. Someone night be more willing to join in Sept @ a discounted rate than @ the full rate. They may not still be interested in joining in Jan. Only have the half dues for New members not for members who did not bother to pay their dues in a timely fashion.
sorry for my spelling error.
Ruth, we did consider this, but considering the first year dues are so low, we thought that for our initial year we’d keep it cheap and simple!
Actually for 5 other guilds in our area I checked only 2 charge more than our dues ($40 & $35) Those and at least one other offer reduced membership if joining in the middle of the year. Either way it is fine with me. I was just making a suggestion.
