2 more weeks to join TCTA at last year’s prices!
Don’t forget that members joining by August 15, 2007, can enjoy another year at the Active member dues level of $110. After that date, the dues increase approved by delegates to our annual convention will be in effect ($140 for Active members). Take advantage of this opportunity to rejoin at the lower dues rate!
And when you see your colleagues for the 2007-08 school year, remind those who have not previously been members of TCTA to join for the special low rate of $90. They don’t have to be new teachers to enjoy this reduced dues rate; just new to TCTA.
TCTA members who are on continuous payroll deduction (who do not have to re-enroll every year) will automatically receive the benefit of last year’s dues rate.
