Membership Dues
As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of donors and on membership dues from singers to help support the work of Schola. Dues are $40/semester or $70 for a year (paid in the fall semester). Checks or cash may be given to John Lasher (Treasurer) at one of the first two rehearsals of each semester.
