FY22-23 Dues Update
In December 2021, the Board of Directors approved moving the membership year, to align to the fiscal year.  This led to a 6-month bridge membership from January 2022-June 2022, and then the new membership and fiscal year starting in July 2022.  Last month, all members received an email with a subject line containing "outstanding balance." This email contains information regarding the dues for the aligned fiscal and membership years.  There have been no changes in the Dues amount for the FY23 fiscal year.  Payments for these dues can be made anytime before the end of June 2023. You can send a check or pay online anytime at ostns.org/donatePlease be sure to log-in to your Shul Cloud account when paying dues.Thank you!
