News from the desk of our LUG President
Friends, Afols, countrymen, lend me your ears;

As we continue to grow and support our activities, we are asking each member to contribute $20 in annual dues. These funds will go directly toward covering club expenses and helping us plan more events for everyone to enjoy.

To be recognized as an active member, individuals must be 18 years or older, attend at least two meetings or events per year, and pay the annual dues. Paying dues also helps us track membership status more clearly, ensuring we know who is currently active and making it easier to coordinate activities and communications.

Please submit your dues to @rva-lug, via Venmo, at your earliest convenience. You can also pay with cash at an upcoming meeting, if you prefer. Thank you for supporting our club and helping us thrive!
