This page is to help new members get to know what resources are available to you as a member. If you have not already done so, please look over our Membership Manual.
Dues payments
You have been added to our invoicing system so you will now receive monthly dues invoices. Dues are due on the 15th of every month. If you pay via paypal, please use the paypal button/link from within the invoice, doing this automatically updates our invoicing system. If you pay by check or cash you can pay the treasurers assistant during public meetings or you can leave your payment in an envelope in either of the donation boxes. If you do this we request you email treasurer at bloominglabs dot org and let them know you have paid your dues.
