Motion by J. Burbach and seconded by D. Wemhoff to pay Per capita dues were discussed and will be paid the same as last year, plus ordering poppies for next year as well. When we send in membership dues as a group, a transmittal form also needs to be sent in with the payment, so documentation is supported for the membership dues being paid.
