Membership FAQ's

Why should I become a member?
You are showing your support for your community and helping to keep active the longest standing community organization in Shoreline.

You can vote for board members and influence the direction and nature of the Association.
You can run for a Board position and become a key part of making our community a great place to live.

What good are my due if events are sponsored by businesses?
Your dues are essential. They directly support the Association and its many activities:
  • Our award winning neighborhood newspaper.
  • Our awesome annual events.
  • Projects to enhance the neighborhood quality of life.
  • Our Executive Director’s part-time salary. We would not be able to produce all our many wonderful events without the tireless efforts of our skilled, energetic and paid Executive Director.

Contact RBCA Membership Coordinator Karen Marshall at membership@richmondbeachwa.org.

When are my membership dues up for renewal?
Your membership is good for one year and is due for renewal each April 1st. 

I used to pay a membership in a different month, why are they now due in April? 
The RBCA is staffed by volunteers so monthly reconciliation was burdensome to our team and difficult to facilitate membership benefit lookup. We are moving our membership drive to 1x a year, at the start of our event calendar, in order to ensure volunteer workload and participation in our full event calendar. 

Why am I being asked to use PayPal or Square to pay my membership dues? 

Starting in April 2023, cash or check will no longer be accepted. This touch-free payment not only ensures record of our digital transaction, it also reduces our volunteer workload needed to reconcile membership benefits. 

Will I receive a reminder about my renewal?
The easiest way to manage your renewal payment is by authorizing Paypal to setup a recurring, annual payment. Log on to your PayPal account. Under Settings, select Payment Settings, then Preapproved Payments, and edit your change. If we have your current email address, a notice may be emailed to you. If not, a you may receive a notice in the paper newsletter. 

What other sources of income does RBCA have besides my dues?
Additional income is raised from newspaper advertising, event sponsorships, grants and donations.

Starting April 1st 2023, we will no longer accept cash/check for membership. Please consider using a digital payment prior to paying by cash or check.

​If you'd like to give cash or check or donations, please attend an in-person event and we'd be more than happy to take your donation! 

If you'd still like to pay by check for your 2022 dues... Download this form, print, complete all required fields, and send back to the address as listed. ​
