To review and consider changes to our membership fee structure

Current fee structure does not follow the 4-way test.

not well publicized that some members opted out of paying for meals

No official procedure in place; ad hoc An inequity existed -- non-meal

members incurred no fine for failure to make up a missed meeting.

All other members did incur such a fine

Membership Fees Update

BLUF: Very Little Change

As of 1 April 09, membership fees will include the cost of meals

Members who miss a meeting but who have a valid make-up will not be charged for the meal

Members who miss a meeting without a valid make-up will be fined $11.00

There will not be a “no-meal” option.

Membership Presentation; 04/21/23 18:154

Discussion Review; Assumptions

We will continue to include a lunch meal as an integral part of meetings

SVRC will continue to meet at PDS SVRC will conduct about 42 meetings

per year

Membership fees will remain the same

The cost of the meal will remain at

$11

Club Dues: $100/year; applied to service projects and charitable giving

Quarterly Assessment: $52/year; applied to club operating expenses, and district and RI dues

Meal costs: Members pay $11.00 for meals under these conditions:

When they attend a meeting When they miss a meeting and fail to

make up at another club (other than an e-club)

Discussion Review; Fee Options

Option 1: Fees include meal cost All members on an equal footing

regarding Membership Fees. It eliminates the inequity in fees associated with the current procedure.

Eliminates the non-meal member option.

Everyone who fails to make up a missed meeting will incur the fine.

 This is the simpler option from a billing and accounting perspective.

Membership Presentation; 04/21/23 18:157

Option 2: Fees exclude meal costs (meal costs optional)

Members could chose or not chose to eat and pay for meals

We currently have approx 65 people who attend and eat. Any fewer and we risk not being able to hold the meeting at PDS

Considered fining the same for those that miss a meeting.

Complex option from a management perspective.
