The annual dues renewal notices were mailed to all members on April 30, 2008.  Please be on the lookout for them in your mail.  If you don't receive your dues renewal notice by Monday, May 12th please contact the Treasurer for a replacement form.  See contact information below. 

Club dues for the fiscal year June 1, 2008 to May 31, 2009 are due on or before 

June 1, 2008. 

A membership will be considered as lapsed and automatically terminated if such member's dues remain unpaid 30 days after the first day of the fiscal year; however, the Board may grant an additional 30 days of grace to such delinquent members in meritorious cases, provided such member requests the 30 day extension in writing by July 1st and explains why such extension is necessary. 

The dues renewal form allows you to: 

a. Update or correct your contact information.
b. Sign up for breeder referral on the YTCA web site. 
c. Pay an additional $15 to receive The Yorkie Express by first class mail. 
d. Make a donation to the general trophy/show fund. 

Breeder Referral: For those that desire to be listed on the YTCA web site under Breeder Referral please note that you must sign the disclaimer section and indicate which types of referrals you would like to receive.  If you sign the form without indicating your preference(s), you will NOT be listed in breeder referral.  Due to difficulties and complexities related to the administration of the web site, you cannot be added later in the year. As the dues renewals come in, the Treasurer and Secretary begin work related to producing the new Club Membership Roster that is mailed to members, usually in July.  Your dues must be received by June 1, 2008 to insure that you are included in the new roster. 

Thank you.
