WHERE YOUR DUES GO The TLW receives $125 of your annual dues; the remainder stays with your local league. The amount of dues that local leagues charge varies from $0 to $50 annually. The breakdown of the $125 that goes to the TLW is as follows: $67.50 stays with the TLW to pay for: • A headquarters office building in Middleton. • A monthly TLW newsletter to keep you abreast of legislative issues facing our industry, details of events and activities going on within the organization, as well as a calendar of events. •
n Premise magazine, which is published six times a O year, the official publication of the TLW that keeps you up to date on the latest happenings in your association and your industry.
The remainder of your annual dues: • $27.50 employs a full-time government affairs director (or lobbyist) to stay on top of legislative issues facing us in the state Capitol. (It is nondeductible as a business expense.)
• $18.75 is for your membership in American Beverage Licensees (ABL), which employs a lobbyist and full-time staff in Washington, D.C., and provides timely legislative updates. • $11.25 is used for public relations using various media outlets to educate the public and enhance the image of our industry.
