Financial Obligations and Attendance Requirements
Financial Obligations and Attendance Requirements
Financial Obligations
- The cost of dues (club, district, and Rotary International) is $250 per year (billed as $62.50 per quarter). The cost of meals is $229.06 per quarter. The cost for your first quarter is prorated.
- Statements of dues are emailed quarterly to the address you have on file. Payment can be made by check or credit card.
Other Financial Considerations
- In our annual fundraiser, we have historically raised $45,000-$50,000. We ask that you fundraise at least $600.
- We hold an auction every year to raise money to provide families with holiday presents. We hope that you will participate by either donating (or finding a donor) for the auction, or bidding in the auction. What you spend is your choice.
- We ask our members to give annually to The Rotary Foundation. The extent of this gift is your choice.
- We occasionally have social events, and sometimes these events have a cost. This cost is typically not covered by the club. Your attendance is optional.
- Our meetings include a variety of fines. You may be fined for showing up late, skipping a meeting and not documenting your make-up, getting trivia questions wrong, or paying a “happy fine” to share news you’re excited about. Members are typically fined $1-$5 per week.
Attendance Requirements
As a member of our club you are asked to attend at least 50 percent of weekly club meetings in a six-month period, although there is no longer a minimum attendance requirement.
Attendance Options
If you’re unable to attend a meeting, you can make-up that meeting by attending a meeting of another Rotary club (local, online, or elsewhere). Use the club finder at https://www.rotary.org/en/search/club-finder to find meeting locations and times. Club activities such as board meetings, service projects, and social events are also allowable make-ups, as are district wide events.
