2012 Membership Dues

It is time to renew your membership dues.  This year we are trying a new way to collect our dues.  The cost of mailings being what they are, we would like the opportunity to try collecting dues through our PayPal account online. 

The PayPal system on our website has been very popular for the past few events we have held.  Many people have taken advantage of it's ease of use in paying for the Hall of Fame Ceremony, Holiday Luncheon, and the past two 5k Runs.  We have been offering PayPal for the Hall of Fame DVD's in our Buffalo Broadcasters Store for quite some time now.

Take a few moments and click the button below to update your membership.  Remember to click the correct type of membership from the drop down list. 

We hope you will find this a quick and easy way to update your membership, while saving the organization the cost of postage and paper.
