Many of you are confused when asked whether  or not you are a member. There is an easy way to check with out having to call anyone.
Just look at your Check stub, you will find on your Check Stub an area where your deductions are ..

The Next line you will look for is the CSEA DUES/FEES line that will be for  $2.00  ( $20.00 a year ) That is your membership dues, and if you are Victory club you will see an additional line that says CSEA PROF.

If you do not have the additional $2.00 Never fear one of us can help you, e-mail, call or contact Barbara Green in Accounts payable and we’ll sign you up.
