3. The capitation fee, paid to the Third Age Trust out of membership dues, provides insurance coverage for group leaders and the branch, support and training. For that reason, as well as to maintain their membership, it is important for members to pay their dues promptly, and that is also why we cannot allow non-members to join groups.
