Paying Dues
There are two categories for dues: Membership and Social. In order to join the club as a member, you must pay the Membership dues, which includes a team shirt!
As we will be limiting all non-essential in-person events as possible and putting a larger emphasis on online events this year, we will be switching our Social dues from an upfront payment to a pay-as-you-go system, which would help support virtual events such as a painting night, games which may require purchasing, prizes, and so on! More information about those types of events will be published as the time comes.
The costs are as follows for the 2021-2022 School Year:
Payments can be made to @VirginiaMotorsports on Venmo, but if you are unable to do so, then cash is also accepted at Lacy Hall to our Vice President of Finance, Harrison McCollum.
