Service Member Renewal
If you have been anywhere near your home this season, you've already received your membership renewal letter, update form and invoice. If you have not been home (a good sign!), it will be waiting in a gigantic pile of mail when you get home. Take the time to review the update form for accuracy and send it in with your member dues.

To ensure your inclusion in the vitally important WFA Date List and Membership Directory, you must return your update form and member dues by Oct. 31. Or renew online and avoid the hassles of paperwork and mailing!
