We also have new membership applications and will attempt to have them at the next Post meeting. Until then, continue to use the old ones except when someone is signing up for a Life Membership. The new forms are an improvement on the old ones, but the only substantive change is in the Life Membership Installment Plan. You must now pay $45 before being able to select Life Membership and make payments on the installment plan. Also, the new forms clarify that a member must have the Expeditionary Global War on Terrorism ribbon, not just the Global War on Terrorism ribbon. One final note—payments received after 1/31 with the improper dues submitted will be returned.
