Guild dues are $55 for the calendar year which runs from January to December. For existing members dues must be paid by January 1st to maintain good standing status. New members may attend one meeting free of charge ($35 if there is a guest speaker), after which they will need to pay dues to continue membership.
Paying dues to the Central Connecticut MQG will grant you membership with the national MQG and the benefits associated with that membership. In addition, membership will cover fees when we need to rent meeting space and to any outside speakers or special events.
