Membership runs from June 1 through May 31. WHAT DO MEMBERSHIP DUES COVER? Paid members are invited, free of cost, to our social events and meetings. Throughout the year, we host:* quarterly meetings* football viewing parties* milestone celebrations for 2 for 7 and Commissioning, which include special gifts for the parents and Mids* Plebe family welcome events and socials * Midshipmen care packages such as cookies for finals (first semester) and Dark Ages care packages* special USNA events such as Marathon team dinnerMembers who have paid dues for all four years and have a graduating Midshipman will receive a Silver Dollar coin from their commissioning year during their 1/C Spring Club meeting. This coin is traditionally used for their MIDs "First Salute" after Commissioning. Your membership dues support all of these activities and MORE!Please let us know if the club fee creates a financial hardship for your family. We will keep this information confidential, as we desire to include everyone who wishes to participate in the USNA Parents Club of Illinois.Memberships shall be by the family unit; therefore, in a family unit with two parents or guardians, the membership will be a dual membership, with each person considered a regular member. Where the parents or guardians are not of the same household (separated, divorced, non-married), each parent or guardian will be eligible for membership. A dual membership will apply to the newly formed family unit if a parent or guardian remarries. Still, each parent or guardian (from the individual units) must apply separately for membership and submit dues accordingly.As a 501 (c) (3) organization, your donation may be tax-deductible; however, please consult your tax professional for more information.If you are unsure if/what you've paid in the past, please email us before paying for a new membership. If you would like to pay by check, email us for the mailing
