- Despite a few negative reactions to the idea of SLAGA asking for dues rather than donations, we are seeing our existing members starting to send in their dues for 2006. I know there is always a level of mistrust that comes when dues are mentioned in any context. But let me reiterate: ***** A Standard membership is free. ***** If you do absolutely nothing - you are still considered a Standard member (which is kind of sad because we really hope you do more than nothing!) It is your choice as to whether or not you want to be a Contributing member and pay annual dues. Paying dues replaces us begging for donations when the bank account is low. I just posted an article on the web site that better explains dues and membership.
