The co-op budget is run from membership dues as well as periodic sales. Membership is non-refundable.
Membership runs from quarter to quarter.
You might get a timely reminder to do either, but then again you may not. It's your responsibility to keep your membership current. If you fail to turn in your key at the end of a quarter, it's assumed you wish to still be a member. Don t wait until halfway or even a quarter of the way through the quarter to turn in your key. Doing so will cost you a full quarter s memebership fees.
