Back to the Top What does my membership fee include? Members receive Capital Region Singles's monthly newsletter that contains information about upcoming activities. They also receive a directory that includes a list of interests for each member.  (Members control what information about them, if any, is listed in the directory.) Members also pay a lower fee for many events.  For example, the fees for the monthly Pinochle night might be $2.00 for members & $4.00 for non-members.  This money covers the host's cost of paper & plastic products, soft drinks, & small prizes for the winners.  The higher fee for non-members is to encourage people to join Capital Region Singles and recognizes that members have "already paid" $25 annual dues. As noted, the fees for events are set to cover costs with no profit.  Of course event fees vary, depending upon the event. Back to the Top Must I be a member to attend events? No. Non-members may attend most activities, but members often pay less for events.   Please review the answer immediately above for an example of the fees.  Events are priced to cover costs.
