Membership
Notice
Membership fees will increase affective October 1,
2007.
We have not raised the price of membership in over five years while the cost of
operations as been increasing every year. We will also begin a postage surcharge
for all foreign mailings. On Track! has grown in size and content making it a
great value and benefit of membership. Remember the JoAnn Fabrics & Crafts 10%
discount card you received last time you renewed? I'll bet that has paid for
your membership at least once!
Members also benefit by the reduced entry fees on quilts entered at MQS®.
Now a NEW 'perk' of membership...all IMQA members will be first in line for
classes at MQS®. Member's registrations will be processed beginning December 1,
2007 for MQS® 2008. All other registrations will be processed starting January
2, 2008.
