working on issues of important to O.D. and if you like, we will help you
start a committee to meet your interests.

We realize that some of you may have joined late in our membership
year and may have not yet received a full 12 months of membership. We would
like to be able to bill each of you indivually on the anniversary date
of your first dues payment. But, this is complicated and expensive. If you
like the things we are doing, we hope that you can send us your dues at
this time.
In order to avoid bank service charges on checks that have to be sent
to a foreign country for collection, your check must be drawn on a bank with
a branch in the USA because it has access to the USA electronic check cashing
clearinghouse. In order to keep our costs at a minimum, we do not accept
credit cards. Two credit cards would cost us US$1500/year plus a processing
fee.
We look forward to your membership and to your participation. It is going
to be an exciting year.
To join, print out and send in our membership application!
