As President Randy announced at our meeting last week, Quarterly Dues will be going up to $200 per quarter effective January 2022, as approved by our Board. This comes after receiving word that RHCC is raising our meal price due to rising meat prices. This will be the first dues raise since 2009 with the hopes that it will be another 11 years until we will have to increase dues again. There are typically 13 weeks in a quarter so divide that by $200 and it's $15.38 per week. Our meal cost is now $15.48, so Rotary membership is still a great bargain!
NOTE: the Guest Meal charge will be $15 at our weekly meetings.
UPCOMING SCHEDULE:
December 7 - Bring Christmas Wish List gifts to meeting. Be sure to wrap the gifts, NO BOWS, and put a tag securely on the outside with the NAME and GIFT # so it can be delivered easily. Be sure to get it marked off the list when you bring it in to the meeting.
