Volunteer Opt-Out Fee - $25.00 (See membership requirements, this can be avoided by signing up and completing annual volunteer requirement).  *NOTE:  If you do sign up to volunteer instead of paying the $25 opt-out fee, and then don't follow through on fulfilling your volunteer requirement, you will be assessed a $50 non-performance fee.
