National VFW Approves Dues Increase

At the recent National VFW Convention, the delegates approved a resolution to increase the amount of its annual dues by $10.00.  The increase in dues for Continuous members will go into effect on January 1, 2014.  Those Post members who now pay their dues on an annual basis might want to consider paying next year’s due prior to the January 1, 2014 deadline, thus saving $10 in the process.

Continuous dues paying members might also consider becoming a Life Member of VFW, and in so doing, you will be saving a considerable amount of money in the process.  Members, who are considering becoming a Life Member, can obtain more information regarding this option by going to the National VFW web site at http://www.vfw.org/.By clicking on the RENEW link at the top of the page, you will be able to review your membership information, make changes, renew your membership, or select the Life Membership option.  The dues structure and the cost of Life Membership are related to you age:
