Update - Unpaid Dues by Club from January 2008
West Dues List - January 2008
During a roughly two-week period in January 2008, the collection of West dues in conjunction with USA CIPP was suspended.  We have only recently been able to obtain the listing of those members for whom this applies.  Bill Haffner will be sending notices to the clubs, seeking reimbursement for West dues that were not paid.  If this applies to you or your club, you can reach Bill Haffner at WTHaffner@aol.com.
