From the Treasurer

Did you know that SCOUG manages all the funds for each local organization? Do you know how your $40 is spent? There are many benefits to becoming a member and the small annual fee is divided equally between the local organization and SCOUG. This year one of the benefits to membership is "free" entrance to the annual training day in Houston. Financial information is always available to members by simply asking you local board officers or contacting the SCOUG treasurer.

Membership is on the Rise!

Thanks all who renewed their memberships for 2004. To those that haven't received an invoice, or if you are new to SCOUG, it's easy and inexpensive ($40 / year) so go to www.scoug.org and follow the individual or corporate membership links. The small membership fee gets you membership in SCOUG and membership in your choice of local Organization (Austin, Baton Rouge, Dallas, Ft. Worth, Houston, New Orleans, San Antonio). More >>

Everyone will see the change and one small error can reverberate throughout your organization. More >>
