MEMBERSHIP & PLEDGE AGREEMENT

I hereby make my annual membership pledge to Congregation Beth Am. Beth Am financial commitments must be current to receive High Holy Day tickets and other temple services. I understand that due to budgetary and planning needs, dues are for the entire year and are not refundable even if I choose to resign mid-year. I will provide written notice to the Beth Am office if I wish to discontinue membership. Verbal notice or voice mail does not constitute an official resignation. If I fail to complete an annual pledge form in future years, but my membership has not been officially discontinued, dues may be continued to be charged in the manner listed above for future years at a rate increased by no more than 10% over the previous year. Permission is granted to send announcements, news, and updates to my email address(s). My signature confirms my agreement to abide by the terms and conditions of Congregation Beth Am membership.
