I called last week and they told me that dues would start in September and would be pro-rated for the year and be paid in 3 payments for 2007. I'm not sure if that means Sept, Oct, Nov with dues and no payment in Dec. or not. But, then in 2008, regular monthly payments should begin. I wanted to pay for it via credit card each month but they said that monthly dues can only be paid thru your bank account.
