Why do i pay dues?

---

Membership dues enable us to create the community that makes Brew Witches such a special group. Some examples of where membership dues go are:

• Swag! Members get exclusive, high quality items like tee shirts and pins. When you wear these, everyone knows you're a proud Witch.
• Cards! Your membership cards let breweries (and everyone else!) know you're literally a card-carrying Witch. (Bonus: if someone tries to 'splain something about beer to you, you can low key flash it show them you know what you're talking about!)
• Fundraiser expenses! When we host fundraisers, we want every penny we collect from donors to go to our chosen cause -- so we use Brew Witches funds to cover basics like wristbands, cups, etc.
• Discounts! We offer discounted prices for event tickets and other items to card-carrying Witches.
• Social Events! When we do Galentines crafts, or share a special Members Only party, or when we just buy some pizza to share ... your dues make that possible. 
• Operational expenses! We try to keep these to a minimum, but web hosting, our P.O. Box, etc. don't come for free.
• Pre-payment for Supplies! Remember that awesome Off Flavor tasting event we had? The supplies for that were pre-purchased from our Witches account. Without your dues, we wouldn't be able to do things like that.
• And lots more! 

If you want to get into the nitty gritty, reach out by email and our spreadsheet-loving Treasurer will talk your ear off.  And if membership dues create a hardship for you, please let us know -- we can work something out!
