A membership is only $ 5.95 a year. For your convenience you membership will automatically renew until you cancel it so that you don't lose the points you have accumulated. One dollar of each yearly membership goes to drill wells in communities that are in desperate need of clean water.
5 points are given with the initial membership just to get you started trading. Lemons for Limes is a produce exchange.
