Important message from our Treasurer re 2009 Annual Subscription.

The Annual General Meeting approved the increase of the Annual Subscription and Joining Fee for 2009 to $105.00 and there is no monthly attendance fee.

As many members now use the internet to pay bills, your Committee has agreed to offer that option for paying the Annual Subscription as from April 1^st next. If you have internet banking set up, direct your payment to:

Probus Club of Sydney Inc

BSB 032 044 Account No 750838 at Westpac Banking Corporation

It is your most important responsibility to include your surname and initials on the transaction to ensure we can identify you as the remitter. This is essential to avoid us pursuing you for an unpaid subscription.

The approved Annual Subscription is due and payable on April 1^st and cheques will continue to be accepted either at the Meeting or by post to the Hon. Treasurer, A W Butterell, 21 Ormonde Rd., Roseville Chase 2069. We seek your cooperation in prompt payment to alleviate time consuming administrative follow up.
