[Rotary] Fwd: rotary dues

[biseball]

Dear Rotarians:
I have come to realize that we are falling quite short on upcoming fiscal issues.  Please read following message from Treasurer Brandt.  

I propose the following:
We raise the weeking meeting fee to either $12 or $15  per member per meeting.  I want this to begin at our January 25, 2024 meeting.  

This suggestion is vital to meet our obligations.  I am not sure if it needs board approval.  If anyone has an issue with this or feel it is personably unaffordable I stand ready to listen privately. 

Sincerely,
R Anthony 'Toby' Wade
President
Rotary Club of Mendocino
707-357-3995

If it does we will make it voluntary until so approved

Deposits into this account will include our regular weekly collections ( mtg dues and happy dollars) and overage we collect from our membership collection.  As noted below currently that is about $100 / member.

Instead of weekly meeting collections, they seem to assess additional dues of $450 from each member, in additional to the usual amounts for Rotary Int’l and District Dues.
