annual Chapter Dues
Reading Bowl Participation Fee - $25.00 per year
|
Chapter dues are based on total school/organization size within chapter grade levels*.
See below for fee structure:
|
*For groups registering more than one chapter (e.g. private schools with an elementary and middle chapter, libraries with children in different levels, etc.) you will register and pay chapter dues separately for each chapter level. Dues are based on the total student count within that school/group level. Club Tome chapters will base dues on total number of students in grades 2-5.
*Chapter dues are nonrefundable. |
