Jon, I beg to differ.  As per a bylaws change made that the 2002 
business meeting held at that year's Aurora conference:

Old Language:
Dues shall be $5.00 per year.

New Language:

Dues shall be $5.00 per calendar year. Dues are payable upon joining for 
the current year, and upon 1 January there after.

Justification:

To remove the considerable confusion as to when dues are to be paid, 1 
January or at Aurora (the Annual Business Meeting). Since the Annual 
Business Meeting is not fixed as to date, having dues payable on 1 
January provides consistency.
