The annual dues for Clubs and Promoters are based on shows held from January 1 thru December 31 and are as follows: 1-5 shows per year.... $500.00;  6-10 shows per year...$1000.00;  11-20 shows per year....$2000.00;  21 or more shows per year...$3000.00

A Big Thank You!

      On behalf of the Board of Directors, Mark Barnes and myself, we would like to sincerely say that The Big Show Journal has done a wonderful job. Paul Tofte, Cindy Radenmacher and Susan Lane have all done an excellent job, and all that have read it have commented on how well our articles have been done.

      Please put your ads in The Big Show Journal. It goes out to 15,000 homes and is expanding rapidly. If you are looking for attendees for shows, it pays to list them in The Big Show Journal. I would like to see all NAAS members put their ads in this magazine. Cindy would be more than happy to help you set it up.

Sincerely,

            Shirley C. Holden - Secretary / Treasurer
