Pizza for Dues is that time that comes twice a year where in exchange for your semiannual dues, members get to enjoy some delicious pizza.  This time around the special day falls on St Patrick's Day, March 17, so make sure to have a slice with a green pepper.  Dues are $42 for six months, or $35 if you're a full time student.  If you're unable to make it to the meeting make sure you get your check to Rose, either at another meeting or by mailing it, before the April 1 deadline.  Checks should be made out to MarathonMasters.  Get your dues in, enjoy some pizza, and also enjoy another six months of polishing your speaking skills.
