MNSOC Membership Benefits
A Message About Membership, from MNSOC President Erin Schneider:
Greetings!
Your MNSoC Board is always striving to provide the best benefits, discounts, and up-to-date costuming-related information possible. Part of our responsibility to you is reviewing our expenses, cutting costs, and passing those savings on to you.
We’ve made some great strides in lowering our overhead in 2012. Therefore, in 2013, we can reduce our Membership Fees. If you are a new or or renewing member, here is the new fee schedule:
Single Membership: $20
Double Membership: $35
We have also decided to retire Student and Senior memberships due to the reduced cost of a single membership.
Rest assured, our costs may be reduced, but not the awesome benefits you get from joining MNSoC! Remember, membership has its privileges.
Thank you for being a part of our organization,
Erin Schneider
President
