INFORMATION ABOUT CLUB DUES The Board is working hard to streamline and simplify Club operations. We want to make it as easy and painless as possible to pay your membership dues to our Club by keeping our overhead low and offering a variety of payment options. At the beginning of this year, we provided the ability to pay dues online for those who prefer to do that. We also offered the option of paying in quarterly installments. Many people took advantage these new options. Just in time for the second quarterly payment, we're happy to announce a new payment option: You can now set up automatic payments to charge your credit card for dues at the beginning of each quarter. You only need to

And now for the even better news: Our financial projections for the Rotary Year indicate that we can reduce club dues. Effective July 1, annual dues will drop from $700 to $650 ($325 for those with age discounts): WE GOTTA DANCE If you use the automatic payment option, your card will be charged for $175 on April 1 and then $ on July 1 and subsequent quarters ($87.50 and then $81.25 for those with age discounts).
