FORNL is starting to collect dues for the 2018 calendar year; the annual dues for 2018 are $20.

An up-to-date list of members and their dues status will be available for viewing at the meeting. Dues can be paid at a meeting or sent to the FORNL Treasurer (payable to FORNL, Vinod Sikka, Treasurer); or sent to: Vinod Sikka, 115 Dansworth Lane, Oak Ridge, TN 37830).

We are now accepting requests for 2018 ORNL visitors’ badges from those who have paid their 2018 dues (or who are life members). To request a visitors’ badge, e-mail Bob Hightower at hightowerjr@comcast.net with your full name (as it appears on your driver license) and a declaration that you are a US citizen. Remember that the badge issued is good only for the current dues year; you must make a request each year that you desire one.
