2026 Invoices FAQ

Why did I receive an invoice now?
Over the past few years, invoices have been sent by mail to all Associate Members and Lot Owners. This year, we are simply using a new system to manage invoicing. This invoice reflects two weeks of fees paid in advance, which will be credited toward your total registration when you register in person this summer. Why did I receive a paper copy of my invoice?
This year, as part of our transition to a new system, invoices were sent to CSA Lot Owning Members and Associate Members by email and mail to ensure all members received them. Can I just pay for this when I come in the summer?
Invoices are due in advance as part of the pre-season billing process. As part of the CSA’s efforts to generate the necessary funds to pay for pre-season costs, including grounds maintenance and facility repairs and in effort to foster unity and shared responsibility between the Lot Owners and Associate Members we are requesting that Lot Owners pay for two weeks of their fees in advance. Payment is required prior to registration in order to complete the registration process. Your payment will be applied toward your total registration when you arrive. If you plan to stay longer than two weeks, you’ll register and pay for additional weeks at that time. What is included on my invoice?
Your invoice may include:

• 2026 Associate Member or Lot Owner Membership Fee
• Approved dock or mooring charges (if applicable)
• Any outstanding balances on your account, including unpaid invoices from prior years

Why am I seeing charges from prior years?
Your invoice may include any unpaid balances from previous years (2021–2025) that remain on your account. As part of our transition to a new system, we conducted a full review of account histories to ensure all balances are accurate and up to date. If you believe a prior balance is incorrect, please contact us and we’re happy to review it with you. What changed about fees for 2026?
In November 2025, the Board of Trustees approved a Weekly Assembly Ticket fee of $48 for 2026. This fee entitles the registrant to a car sticker, racquet tag, paddleboard sticker, and kayak sticker. Your invoice reflects $96, which is equal to two weeks of the weekly ticket fee. What fees are included in my invoice?
For 2026, CSA moved to a simplified fee structure:

• A single weekly fee replaces multiple smaller fees (car, racquet, boat, etc.)
• This approach was designed to streamline billing and make invoices easier to understand
• Overall cost is intended to remain consistent with prior years

How do I pay my invoice?
You have three payment options:

• ACH (bank transfer) – no additional fee
• Credit card – the total will include an additional 3% credit card fee
• Check by mail – payable to Congregational Summer Assembly

When is my payment due?
All invoices are due by June 1, 2026. Does the invoice link expire?
Yes — the payment link expires after 30 days. If your link has expired, please email us and we will resend it. When and how does registration happen?
Summer registration will take place in person beginning June 15^th when the office will open at 9:00am for the season. Additional details and scheduling will be shared closer to that date. All members who will be at the CSA this summer will need to come to the office upon arrival to complete their registration. I didn’t receive an invoice email. What should I do?

• Check your spam/junk folder
• If you still don’t see it, contact us and we’ll resend your invoice
• A paper copy of your invoice will also be arriving in the mail shortly

Why did I receive this invoice if my household already paid?
An invoice was sent to each Associate Member or Lot Owner within a household. The designated billing contact, as set in the prior system, has the option to pay for all members in the household or each individual can pay their own invoice separately. This designation can be updated at registration or by emailing the office. My information (email, address, household, etc.) is incorrect.
We recently transitioned to a new system, and data is only as accurate as what was previously on file. We expect some updates—this information can be updated at registration or by filling out the form in this link. I think my invoice is incorrect. What should I do?
Please email member.support@summerassembly.org with details of the issue, and we’ll review. What does “good standing” mean?
To remain in good standing:

• Your membership invoice must be paid by the due date
• This ensures eligibility for summer registration and participation

How long will it take to get a response?
