-Once again as we get well into our FY23/24 fiscal year, we find we have a number of members who are delinquent on dues. Keep in mind that our source of funds for our operating account which pays for our meeting expenses comes from dues we all pay.
Cost of providing venue rental, food and drinks is escalating. We need the money in our Operating Account to pay for all this. Another recurring problem is that too often we have members who don’t keep up with their dues and then just decide to drop out. Meanwhile, we have been paying all their dues to Sertoma Inc. for the fiscal year.
We send out dues invoices to all members at the beginning of each quarter. If anyone is not receiving invoices, let the Secretary Dennis Murphy know (706-840-2477). Remember that our Fiscal Year Starts on July 1 each year and ends on June 30 the following calendar year. Members are billed \$350 at the start of the fiscal year. Some members pay by quarter (\$87.50).
The Board has decided that in addition to sending invoices, the club Secretary will call all members who are more than 2 quarters behind on dues. If the member does not catch up his dues, he will be dropped from the club.
Thanks to all members who pay their dues on time and to all members, please help us out with this issue.
