Subscription dues are essentially Annual Dues which works just like a magazine subscription.  It gives you 365 days of membership in the VFW.  


The basic breakdown is:  If you are an annual member and you pay your dues before Jan, your expiration will be Jan the following year.  If you pay after that date, whatever day your dues are processed at National will be the new expiration date.  For example:  you send in your dues to National on 1 Feb 2022 and National processed them on the 15 Feb.  Your new expiration date would be 15 Feb 2023.

 

Current subscription/Annual Dues for Post 12163 are $65AUD per year.
