 2024 Dues Notice

Compatriots,

For those of you who have a deliverable mailing address, your 2024 Dues Notices should be arriving in your home mailbox within the next few weeks.  These are sent Bulk Mail to your address of record as of September 1st.  If you do not receive one by Thanksgiving, please look for your notice online, and help us get your address corrected.

Texas SAR has voted that Junior Members will not need to pay dues for 2024.

Keep in mind that your dues are considered late on January 1, 2024.  If they are still unpaid 30 days later - NSSAR will drop you from the rolls and you will start to show a gap in your service and not get your magazine.  So...please pay them online or by mail as soon as you can to help your Chapter and avoid a lapse in your SAR Service!  As in previous years, you have 3 options for paying your dues.

Online/Paypal (option 1) - We encourage everyone to use this option, and pay your dues by credit card through Paypal.  Click here for the online dues payment page and enter your National SAR # and Name as it appears on your Membership Certificate.  Then select your primary chapter and any others you maintain dual membership with and follow the checkout procedures.  This is operational on the TexasSAR.org website NOW.  PayPal fees have been removed for 2024 Dues payments.

As mentioned, this online Paypal form also allows for secondary (dual) chapters to be added for those wishing to pay as a dual member.

US Mail (option 2) - You simply take the bottom section of the dues invoice you receive in the mail and send a check for the amount indicated with the pre-addressed envelope, stamp it, and return it to us by US mail.  This is to be for your PRIMARY Chapter Dues Statements - it only includes dues for your Primary Chapter, State Dues, and National Dues where applicable.

US Mail (option 3) - Use this option if you want to pay by check, but did NOT get a dues notice in the mail or you want to pay NOW for whatever reason.  Click here for the online dues invoice page on the private site, grab your dues notice online, print it out , and mail it back in with a check.  This option is available NOW on the TexasSAR.org website.

Donations - As many of you are aware, our society has many beneficial funds that you can donate to for great purposes.  Each year, when you renew your membership is a great time to make a donation to one of several great options.  All Donation $ will be allocated as you indicate on the form.  Please review the items listed in the donations section of the online dues payment page, and support these worthwhile programs.  Thank you for your continued support of our programs!

Please do NOT mail to older addresses - those have been closed - USE THE ADDRESS ON THE RETURN ENVELOPE or the ONLINE DUES NOTICE ONLY.  If you or your bank mail it somewhere else, there is no guarantee it gets to us or that you will be credited.  Getting these in on time is important for your Chapter and you.  The sooner your dues are in, the sooner our books are cleared with NSSAR and the funds available to your Chapter in the Spring - and no more reminder calls !!!  We appreciate your patience and support !!!

Thank you so much for your continued support!

In Patriotism,
