In the very near future, a 2008 membership card will be needed to obtain access to the facilities at FOP Lodge 89.  Security to the building will be through key cards only.  Only active and retired FOP Lodge 89 members and PAID Associate Members of FOP Lodge 89 will have the opportunity to obtain key cards.   (A small key card administrative fee (not included in the dues or back ground fee) is required if you wish to obtain a key card).

Effective, April 1, 2008, the Associate Membership Annual Dues has increased to $50.00 annually.  Any Associate Membership applications received on or after April 1, 2008, the applicant will be required to submit  $50.00 per year for the dues and $15.00 for the initial administrative background investigation fee.  We will no longer offer the discounted rate for spouses.  All Associate Membership Dues is $50.00.

If you permit your membership to lapse at any time, you will be required to re-apply for membership.  If you haven't paid your 2008 due, your dues has lapsed.  Once your name is removed from the membership, you will not be permitted to just pay the years of lapsed dues.  Your application will also have to go through the background investigation again and there will be an additional administrative fee of $15.00 for each background check.
