If dues have not been paid by last day of February, the member will no longer be considered a member in good standing, with all of the associated ramifications. If a member has a check returned, as long as they contact the Director of Finance before the last day of February and set up a time to make amends including the NSF charges by March 10, they will still be considered member in good standing.
