In 2005 there were a number of RMDRA memberships that were sold on the basis that they expired on year from date of purchase. (i.e. bought in June 2005 and will expire in June 2006) In an effort to reduce the administrative burden of tracking the various membership expiration dates the RMDRA has decided to change the format of the membership structure. Yearly memberships will now expire on Dec 31 every year.
Those members that bought memberships during this period with the understanding that the memberships would expire one year from date of purchase are being offering a pro-rated membership for the 2006 membership year. A number of members have been contacted and have accepted the offer, however there are still quite a few that have yet to respond.
All members that have not paid up their 2006 dues by March 31, 2006 will lose the access to the members only area on the website and have their 2005 Membership Stars removed.
For more details or if you have questions or comments please send me an email or private message.
