EXPLANATION OF FEES:
Lodge 16 collects dues and other fees for six months, every six months, from existing members.  These fees are due on or before April 1 and October 1.  If you join in a month other than April or October, your fees are prorated to reflect the number of months remaining in the six month period.  For example if you sign up in January, you will pay for 3 months (January thru March).  You will pay for the next six month period on or before April 1 and again October 1.

There is a one time sign up fee of $36.  This pays for your State and National dues the lodge must submit for you to become a member of the FOP.

Local lodge dues are $10 per month.

Therefore, the amounts reflected below represent the number of months remaining in the six month period between April and October or October and April, multiplied by $10 (Lodge dues) with $36 added.

Please select the month in which you are paying when choosing the payment option in the drop down menu below.  Also, we will require a copy of your picture agency identification card to be emailed to fopcentralvalley16@gmail.com in order to complete your membership.  Thank you
