IMPORTANT MESSAGE - MEMBERSHIP FEES

 With some reluctance, the WAOE Board of Directors secured the approval of the recent Annual General Meeting to introduce an annual membership fee from July 1 1999.  Receipts from new and renewing memberships - supplemented by donations, sponsorships and grants wherever possible - are an essential source of the small but regular and stable income we need in order to be able to sustain our database management and other Web-based operations, and to extend our communications systems, regional chapters, committee and OCREW networking and special project activities in the interests of improving the quality and professionalism of online education.

Full information on the payment of fees is available as part of the Orientation Course at http://www.waoe.org/orientation/fees.htm.  The following is a summary of the main points:
 

• The membership fee for 1999/2000 is $US10.

•  There are two main methods of payment:

(2) Snail mail a cheque or money order enclosing a slip stating your name and address (if that is not on the check) and your email address (which will
be used to issue receipts)

Please write "WAOE 99/00 Membership Registration fee " on the check or money order at the bottom left or along the top.

Cheques or money orders should be made out and forwarded according to one of the following alternatives:
