2010 JCCC Kendo Club Annual Membership Fees
The 2010 club membership fees are now due. Forms are now available. Shane Asa and Ryo Tamaru are collecting the fees. The club membership fee is an important means of raising funds for the club to support the events and operations. Please note that this club fee is separate from the JCCC membership fee and kendo lesson fee, which are for the JCCC. The kendo club does not receive a portion of those fees.
