Dues Notice for 2025
The November 2024 issue of The Indo-China Philatelist was distributed with the annual dues notice for 2025. Despite ever-increasing postal costs, dues will stay at the 2024 levels for the next year for those receiving paper copies. [Note that there is a small increase in PayPal fees.] There has been talk about eliminating paper copies of the journal as it represents a major consumption of society resources. The officers still have this under advisement for the coming year. If you have an opinion on this subject, consider submitting a letter to the editor of ICP. Application for Membership
