However; after December 31st of the following year you will no longer be entitled to vote or hold an office in your Lodge. If your dues are not paid a year later by October 31st of the year payable for dues; you will be classified as NPD or Non Payment of Dues.
If you go NPD you are NOT allowed to attend ANY LODGE Communication at ANY LODGE. Once NPD you must ask for Reinstatement; explained also under the MEMBER INFO tab.
