Membership Renewal/Transfer Form 30k

Use this form to pay your annual dues, to reinstate your membership if it has lapsed, or to transfer your membership from another lodge. Dues are $10 a year if paid by Feb. 28, or $20 thereafter.

Note regarding Reinstatements: You have until February 28 to renew your membership in the lodge without penalty if your dues the previous year were up-to-date. After February 28, there is a $10 reinstatement fee added to the $10 annual dues. It does not matter how many months or years your dues were lapsed...the total cost to become up-to-date is $20 ($10 reinstatement + $10 dues).

Note regarding Transfers: If you can provide evidence that your membership in your last lodge is up-to-date, then you only need to pay this year’s Na Tsi Hi dues ($10). If your membership in your last lodge has lapsed, then you need to pay $20 ($10 reinstatement + $10 dues). To transfer into our lodge, you must present evidence of your membership in the OA, and also what your “honor” level was. Such evidence might be an OA membership card, a letter from your last lodge, knowledge of the ceremonies, etc.
