For convenience, the FMS will accept an advance dues payment to cover one or two whole years, allowing members an option to renew for up to three years at a time. The FMS membership year runs from January 1 to December 31. If you join anytime between January 1 and October 1, you will receive all back issues for that year. If you join after October 1, your initial dues will include the following year at no extra cost. Annual membership renewals become overdue on January 1. Unpaid memberships lapse on the dues payment deadline of March 30th.
