If you do not have a PayPal account:
- Email Suz Klumb, Membership Director, [email protected], and ask to have a PayPal invoice emailed to you. You can then pay with a credit card.
- Pay by check. We discourage this as mail service is unreliable in some areas lately. The Textile Center PO Box is difficult to access due to limited hours at the Textile Center. Your membership may be significantly delayed. We are required to have a physical location as a not-for-profit organization, but this is not the best option for membership payments. If you would like to pay your dues by check please email, Suz Klumb, Membership Director, [email protected], so she can expect the check, and then mail your payment to:
- Upper Midwest Bead Society c/o The Textile Center
3000 University Ave SE #100
PO Box 5
Minneapolis, MN 55414
- Upper Midwest Bead Society c/o The Textile Center
Membership Dues will be $35 per year for 365 days
