The WBCCI IBT voted (7/5/15) to prorate International dues for the first year of new membership. Anyone signing up after 4/1/16, dues are: $48 for the remainder of the year. After 7/1/16, the dues are: $97, but will include next year’s dues. After 10/1/16, dues $81 and include next year’s dues. The usual MAL $20 charge or unit dues remain. Current member International dues remain $65. The IBT calculated the proration would generate an additional $17,000 income and assure new members would not cancel after only 6 months. Unit dues will be collected through the website, but there is no provision for prorating unit dues.
