Never Too Late To Reinstate
PLEASE RENEW WHEN DUE – BUT – IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO REINSTATE!! Are you PAST DUE to renew – or even “officially” a NON-RENEWAL? No Problem! It’s not too late – please REINSTATE!
WHEN ARE YOU DUE TO RENEW?? ASPS membership must be renewed annually as of a member’s anniversary date, through payment of renewal dues. For all ASPS members as of 6/09, their anniversary is June 1st. For all other Squadron members, their anniversary is the 1st of the month in which they joined. For anyone renewing during the current 2010-11 dues year, 6/1/10 – 5/31/11, renewal dues rates are $79 for a single member, $118.50 for a family membership, including ASPS, District and USPS amounts.
For all members, Renewal Notices go out 2 months before up for renewal on anniversary, first by email, and then by regular mail to those not heard from or without an email address. Renewal dues may be paid by credit card online, or by mailed check/credit card authorization per Notice instructions. Payment becomes due by the end of the month before anniversary month, past due as of anniversary. If not renewed by the first of the month after anniversary month, a member is considered a Non-Renewal and technically no longer a member, but can still reinstate ongoing membership for that year at any time by paying dues, without interruption or penalty.

July Raft-Up and Lake Murray Squadron Visit
The weekend of July 16-18 did not have the most promising weather forecast, but happily we had nice weather for most of our activities. Some of our members went out to Sunset Cove on Friday night to raft up for Aquapalooza. Meanwhile, other members spent their Friday evening welcoming our neighbors from the Lake Murray Power Squadron to our gorgeous Lake Lanier with hors d’oeuvres and dinner at Hideaway Bay Marina.
On Saturday, members of both squadrons enjoyed our time together swimming, sharing good food, and enjoying beach activities like hula hooping at Sunset Cove. It was terrific to meet other power squadron members from Lake Murray and get to spend time enjoying the water and getting to know one another better. Of course, the ASPS was happy to show them a great time that they won’t soon forget!
Aquapalooza on Lake Lanier!
