The Dues are Due



December 2013
Dear ATA members,

DUES ARE DUE! 

ATA annual membership dues are due Jan. 1, 2014.  Dues remain a bargain at $15/individual and $29/family!  Dues will be accepted from now to Feb. 1, 2014 and can be given to John Genta or mailed to ATA, PO Box 684, Alamogordo, NM  88310.

“Why should I pay dues when I can get all the information about local tennis on the web site?” you might ask. 

Yes, we have a great web site (alamogordotennis.blogspot.com) that gives updates on tennis in the area.

So why might you want to pay your dues?
1.     Dues support ATA which is the only organized tennis club in Otero and Lincoln Counties
2.     Paying dues gets your name on the roster so others can contact you.  This roster will be revised early next year and non paying players will be deleted
3.     Paying dues allows your name to remain on the ATA email list where continuous emails are sent to inform and remind players of upcoming events.  This list will also be revised early next year.
4.     Paying dues makes you eligible to play in monthly PLAY DAYS and other events.

Also, please note:  after July 1st ATA charges half price for NEW MEMBERS only.  This is an incentive for new members to join, not a discount for old members who prefer to join for only 6 months.  It simplifies recordkeeping to only add new members to the roster and email list, so please don’t ask for a 6 months membership.

Thank you for your continued support for ATA.
ATA Board
