Do chapter dues include membership in the national organization, NARGS?

While the Wisconsin-Illinois chapter is affiliated with the North American Rock Garden Society the dues are separate. Chapters receives certain benefits from the affiliation. National provides its chapters with national and international speakers we could not afford on our own. The chapter does not pay for this affiliation but in order to participate in NARGS activities individuals must pay NARGS membership dues. Find out more about NARGS here.
