“When I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they're not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can ‘cause I know I’m gonna have to live that day anyway. So why not try to make the most of it if you can?”

Q3 dues are due
The EKSR dues account is with Gateway Bank.
Know there are 2 ways to pay dues. First: by check made to EKSR. There are no processing fees by writing a check. Give the check to our Treasurer, Kendall Hillis at the next meeting. Your receipt will be your cleared check.
Second is online with a credit card. There is a 3% convenience charge that EKSR must pay with each credit card dues payment. You'll have the option of covering that 3% fee. We find that of those who pay online, about ½ of us include the fee in their payment.
