As the membership chair of the National Shellfisheries Association, I am writing to remind members about the new dues 'deadline'. To continue receiving uninterrupted member benefits, you need to renew your membership by January 31^st, 2008. To defray the increasing costs associated with providing back issues, paying after January 31^st now adds a $20 (North America) or $40 (outside North America) administrative surcharge to your dues.

• Go to https://shellfish.org/user/memberpaydues;
• Log in; and,
• Click on ‘Pay dues’ for 2008.

If you’ve forgotten your username or password, there are links to re-send that information to your e-mail account. (There is also a link to pay by postal mail but would come in after the deadline.)
