Dues are coming around, and if you want to stay an active member of the Lodge you have to pay your dues. Paying your dues doesn't just give the order money to sit on, we need it to provide high quality events, camper-ships and camp improvement. Just remember to pay your dues as soon as possible.

Also remember that the all new 2020 ATH Season Pass will cover your dues, so if you pay for the season pass, you wont have the hassle of paying multiple times for events and dues. As an added bonus you will get all the events in the lodge registered at the cost of the early bird rates. Even if you cant go to an event, no big deal, you can give the pass to a brother or sister to go to the event and let them experience friendship and fellowship.

More details to come when Dues and the Pass go live!
