2005 Dues
We know it’s early for a 2005 dues reminder, but please keep in mind we will again be
inserting a payment envelope in the November/December issue of the Voice. Please
watch for it and keep up-to-date with your American Maine-Anjou Association (AMAA)
annual dues!

Registration Applications
Please look over your supply of registration applications. If you still have old ones on
which you could only submit four head, please dispose of them as we no longer use those
forms. The most current applications will accommodate eight head and includes our
correct (Platte City) address. Some of you may still have forms with our former Kansas
City address. Those forms can still be used, but update the address to P.O. Box 1100,
Platte City, MO 64079-1100.

Dues Requirement
Animals cannot be registered or transferred if either the owner or seller is not an active
member of the Association. Therefore, if a buyer mails in a transfer from a non-member
or inactive member, the buyer will be charged for the seller’s membership fee or annual
dues. The exception to this rule is if all animals owned by that individual (non- or
inactive member) are being transferred at the same time, so the individual currently
would not own any cattle.
