Annual dues are payable on or before the first day of January of each year. If you have not already done so, Please mail your dues ($15 for individual or $20 for family) to PNWHC - Wendy Waggoner, 20804 NE 40th Ave., Ridgefield, WA 98642. 

As a convenience to our members you can now pay your dues via PayPal. All you need to do is go to your PayPal account and make the payment by using the email address of the club - PNWHC99@gmail.com. The club is passing the PayPal fee on to members so if you are paying by this method, individual dues are $16 and Household are $21. But hey, its cheaper and easier than writing a check, finding a stamp, and burning gas to the post office, not to mention remembering to do it. Hope this helps everyone to get their dues paid in a timely fashion.

Happy New Year!
