In response to your input, KCRAR has made some significant changes to its annual dues billing schedule and the changes will take effect soon.

Your dues invoice will be e-mailed on Sept. 1, 2009 with a due date of Dec. 15, 2009. Paper invoices for those who have opted to continue receiving them will be snail-mailed during the first week of September, so you should receive them shortly after.  

For a complete outline of payment options and other important dates to remember, go here. However, for a quick reminder, this year you can pay the total amount of the invoice anytime, OR you can choose to make partial payments in installments, as long as KCRAR receives payment by midnight on Thursday, Dec. 15. Members who have not paid on time will be assessed late fees and could risk having their KCRAR and HMLS services suspended or their membership terminated.

The most important thing to remember is dues are STILL due in FULL by Dec. 15. This new policy means invoices will be sent out two months earlier, giving you the option to either pay in full a few months before Dec. 15 and the subsequent holiday season, or spread the payments out in monthly installments. 

We hope the changes give you more flexibility when making payments as well as the option of paying your dues ahead of the holiday season. For questions about the annual dues billing changes, or if you haven’t received either an e-mail bill or paper invoice, contact Michelle Polston in Accounting at 913-266-5924.
