New Financial Plan To provide necessary funds needed for our club there have been some changes made: Membership dues $25 per month or $240 per year if paid yearly Meals: $15 per meal eaten. They will be billed monthly Corporate Membership: $1000 per year, including cost of meals There are costs associated with being a member over and above your actual district and international dues. Some of those costs are speaker meals, dues and meals for our secretary and treasurer, annual accounting fees as well as costs for our website, postage and other miscellaneous supplies. Including your actual dues that all totals $240 per year. The $240 can be paid annually, or if you want to be billed monthly, it will be $25 per month. There will no longer be a ‘Senior’ member classification. All members will now be responsible for paying their fair share. This amount does not include meals, which will be billed monthly at $15 per meal eaten. There is also a corporate membership option which will include one meal per week as well as an ad in the Kaktus, plus the opportunity to plug your business at one of our luncheon meetings. That cost will be $1000 per year or $85 per month if billed monthly.
