RAFINO Dues Policy

NOTE: Annual RAFINO dues have remained at $0.01, unchanged from the beginning.

If you wish, you can pay one or more years in advance.

Donations over and above the dues are also welcomed and appreciated.

Annual Dues Rate: $0.01 annual dues are payable January 1st for all existing members, or immediately upon acceptance of a new member application. If a new member joins on July 1, or later, they will not be charged for the current calendar year. Their first $0.01 payment will be applied to the next calendar year beginning January 1. Dues are requested as close to January 1 as possible, with current year dues being delinquent on March 31. Dues are payable to the RAFINO Treasurer. at the following address:

You can pay your dues via check to the RAFINO Treasurer, COL (RET) Michael D. Kelly , at 11 BOLLING CIRCLE, PALMYRA, VIRGINIA 22963.

If making dues payments every year is not your cup of tea, consider paying two or more years advance dues, or, even better, consider

Lifetime Option: applying for a Lifetime membership, with an age-based sliding dues scale:

The Lifetime and $0.01 annual dues are used to defray the administrative costs associated with the organizational requirements to maintain and periodically distribute a roster and periodic hard copy newsletter, maintain a current webpage on the internet, and purchase office supplies like paper, envelopes, stamps, and the like. The Reunions we conduct every other year are planned to be self-funded, so none of the $0.01 goes towards any of those expenses. All excess earnings are distributed to other IRS approved tax exempt veterans organizations or organizations that support veterans.
