	DUES PAYMENT EXPLANATION The next area below will allow you to pay dues and renew. You need to log-in to the web site for this to function. If you have previously paid dues it will show your status. The tricky part of this is that you need to click the not obvious word "here" in the top line. That will take you in a loop back to what looks almost the same except you must make a choice of payment of just FDR dues, or FDR plus NPCA dues. Then click the tiny blue "subscribe" below. Then you go to the PayPal page to fill in your personal data and credit card number. FDR Membership Notification & Renewal To become a subscriber of this site, you will need a registered user account. You can register a new user account here. Alternatively, if you already have a user account, you can login here. Register With FDR We request that everyone register with FDR so you are in our database and we can all stay connected. Then you have a choice about joining. Why join? Why pay an annual membership? Read about FDR on the "About FDR" page. Registration: You are registered when FDR has your information in the FDR database as a former PCV or staff in the DR. Our Registration Database includes: your name, street address, email address, and your DR service information such as sites, service years, service group numbers, and projects. Registration is how we can help you reconnect with Peace Corps friends and colleagues, as well as send the Cyber News and other timely information. To date we have over 2700 RPCVs in our Registration Data Base. You can update your data at any time. We do not share our information to outside groups.

Support the work of FDR such as maintaining our Registration Data Base, web site, and plan our reunions. Four ways to become a Paid Member Click on an option below and you will go in a loop to the top of a similar page where you make a choice of these two payments. Friends of Dominican Republic only $15 — 12 months of membership benefits. Friends of the Dominican Republic AND the National Peace Corps Association $50 — Includes $15 for FDR annual dues and membership in the National Peace Corps Association.
