SPMABC Invoices for 2021

November 26 2020 Hello SPMABC Members,

Many of you may have received an automated invoice for your SPMABC dues. Our invoicing system through Quickbooks had several of our members on an auto-invoice schedule, meaning that several of you may have received an invoice with last year’s membership form.

We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused.

Please note that this year’s invoice for membership fees for 2021 will be sent to our members on Monday, November 30th 2020.

In order to qualify for early bird rates you will need to submit your membership form, proof of insurance and membership fees by December 31 2020.

Please ensure that quickbooks@notification.intuit.com is added to your safe list for your email, or your invoice may go to your junk mail folder.

For this year, we are excited to offer an online payment option as well. Once you have submitted your proof of insurance and membership form (via email to info@spmabc.com), you will be provided with a link to our online payment page to make your fee payment.

Otherwise, cheques can be sent to Integrated Pest Supplies for processing (the address will be provided on the membership form, which will be attached to the invoice), but must be received prior to December 31st in order to qualify for early bird rates.

Please note that we are no longer offering the option to call and make a credit card payment over the phone. If you’d like to pay via credit card, you will need to do so via our online payment form.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or concerns about this.

Thank you for your continued support!
