I like paying dues.
My dues pay for renting my club’s meeting hall and for tonight’s refreshments.
Some of my dues go to my club’s national office to fund projects that advance club goals.
Unlike small clubs our membership is from all income levels so we have a sliding scale.
Our less fortunate members pay no dues at all. In fact, some of our natonal projects provide much of their needs.
Our wealthy members happily pay many times over regular dues at a sponsorship level.
