Clubs chartering in September or March (the last months of the dues renewals periods) may wish to submit membership dues amounting to $52.50 USD per person. The extra $7.50 USD per person will be used to pay the prorated renewal dues. By doing this, your club will not have to collect dues from each member twice in two months. Please note: All payments must be in U.S. dollars

All documents should be scanned and sent to newclubs@toastmasters.org.
