The Southland Association's fiscal & membership year runs from March 1st through the following February. Members are asked to pay their dues on or before March 1st.
Membership is open to any person or organization supporting our mission, without regard to where a person or organization is located. Members include many businesses, professionals, service providers, commercial property owners, neighborhood associations and others.
Annual Dues:
Neighborhood Association $35
Individual or Family $35
Business 1-5 employees $75
Business 6-10 employees $150
Business 11+ employees $250
Commercial Property owners $250
Any person or organization joining the Southland Associated during some portion of any given fiscal year, will have their dues prorated according to the following formula.
First, determine the cost per month at the appropriate level. Next determine the number of full months remaining in the fiscal year, which ends on the last day February. Then multiply to determine the correct prorated amount. i.e., a business with 0-5 employees joining on April 3rd would have ten full months remaining in the fiscal year, so their prorated dues would be 10x$6.25=$62.50.
A second option for those who join during or near the last quarter of the fiscal year (Dec., Jan., Feb.) is to pay for the full fiscal year and their payment would cover whatever portion of the last quarter, plus all of the following new fiscal year.,i.e., joining on December 3rd of 2007, and paying the full year's dues at the appropriate level, would pay through the last day of February 2009.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS & ONGOING PROJECTS:
$33,000. Funding drive to paint the Southland Drive Norfolk Southern railroad bridge has now been completed, with a combination of LFUCG grants and Capital Funds, plus Southland Association funds from membership dues and a large donation of all the paint from Environmental Protective Coatings, with offices on Regency Rd.
FREE selling and/or display/demo space is now available on a scheduled basis for all Southland Association members on each Sunday Farmers Market day. (about 30 days during the season) From one to four 10' x 10' pop-up tent type canopies are also available along with electrical hook-ups, free to Southland Association members.
Our new Southland Jamboree proved very popular, with an estimated 6,000 or more people attending the regular Tuesday evening Bluegrass music concerts during the season. Thanks to the generous sponsorship support we received, and the partnership with the LFUCG division of Parks and Recreation, we plan a second season next year. The community spirit expressed by comments of the fans was very gratifying.
Southland Association Web site development is in progress. Our members have this free connection to greater Lexington - and yes - to the world! This will feature multifaceted public and private sides with special benefits for our members, such as a services directory and blog on the public side, and member-to-member business promotions, plus member-to-public promotional listing opportunities. There is much more planned as this becomes fully developed.
