Re Dues; When you paid your dues to your Branch in Noventier or December 1982 for the
coming yearl983, you were only required to pay $ 5.00 to Provincial at the end
of 1983 ( now) therefore we felt manjr branches wou} d find i t hard to possiblyrpay
$ 7.00 so you will send $ 5.00 per member to provincial for your 1983 members and for
those members whojsfee are the full provincial - amount will pay $ 7.00 at your annual
meeting and branches whose dues are a smaller anount from their members will pay out
on their behalf $ 7.00 at the end of 1984.
I do hope you will ask your branch secretart/ for the details on the Provincial
competitions for 1984 Convention. Quilt Block, new design for A. W. I, plate,
Creative Writing and J & P Coats and the new Handicraft List is in your Autunn Home
& CounQfy.
