I own more than one store and would like to become a member.
You must fill out a separate W-9 form for each store owned. If any of your stores have different Tax Identification Numbers (TIN) you will have to fill out a membership application for each different TIN. You will need to pay a dues fee for each store owned. The current dues rate is located on the membership application. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the DQOA office.

I received an invoice for membership. Do I need to pay now?
We send several statements throughout the year beginning in October of the preceding year. (i.e. Statements for 2001 were first mailed in October of 2000.) Pay when it is convenient for you. All membership dues must be received by September of the year to be eligible for dividends.
