are sent from RI directly to your address on file.

charge of 3% + $0.30 for paying with a credit card. You
can also arrange to pay quarterly or monthly through

What is the Service Fund? How is the Service Fund
different from the Downtown Foundation? Don’t my
dues cover my obligation to Rotary International?
Why should I pay more?
If you have any of these questions, please ask for a copy
of the Membership Fact Sheet – this describes all of
financial obligations and donations that are requested of
our members on our Dues Statement.
What is the Foundation Investment Fund?
The Investment Fund is a long-term account where
contributions are invested and earnings made available for
funding projects as determined by the Club Foundation
Directors.
The new Community Grants are being funded by the fund
with new areas of focus emphasizing educational
opportunities, veteran services and senior citizens. Our
vision is to build an investment that will make a
meaningful difference in our community, our country and
our Rotary world.
It seems like most weeks, people are fined for good
news or for other reasons. How are the fines used?
The practice of fining people for good news dates back to
the 1920s. Most Rotarians go about their “Service Above
Self” personal projects without drawing attention to them,
but if you do, an extra fine is paid. This fine also goes to
the Service Fund projects.
When is the annual dues payment due?
The club would appreciate your response by June 1, but
your payment – or pledge to pay – is due by June 20th.
Any member not pledging by June 20th may have their
membership terminated. Your dues are considered past
due if not received by July 31 unless other arrangements
have been made. Dues not paid by this date are subject to a
