Dear Brothers and Sisters, This is a reminder that your dues plus initiation fee payments are due by the tenth of the current month. Your initiation payment is applied first and then the balance goes towards dues. No Exceptions!

This means if you have fallen behind in your initiation payments all monies will be applied to your initiation until your initiation fee is paid through the current month.

If you have any questions regarding this issue, please do not hesitate to call the apprenticeship office at 213 688-9090. Fraternally, Gary L. Cook
