Rotarians' dues statement for the new Rotary year should be published no later than July 1, and are due by July 31. President Dave DeBois announced the dues increase during the May 23 regular club meeting. There are two adjustments in dues amounts driven primarily by meal cost and meeting attendance levels, as well as an additional international charge for insurance.
The format and how Rotarians will be able to pay online remains the same as last year. Dues statements will be produced by the ClubRunner system and sent to members in an email, similar to how Rotarians receive meeting announcements and the club's bulletin, the Spokesman.
Because the online system includes acceptance of credit cards, again this year club members will be able to pay dues with a credit card through the Rotary Club of Kirkland website. Each statement has a "PAY NOW" link that takes the member to an online payment page that accepts credit cards. Please remember to use the statement payment link only for payment of dues.
Rotarians may also make donations through the online system. For example, Happy Bucks contributions (those made prior to receiving a statement), Duck Dash sponsorships, Rotary International Foundation contributions, and other "non-invoiced" payments may be made through his Donation page. Of course, Rotarians may still make payments and contributions by check or cash at a dinner meeting, or with a check through the U.S. Mail.
Each Rotarian's dues invoice totaling $390, including a suggested donation to the Rotary International Foundation, will display the components listed below. If any Rotarian would like to receive a paper copy of his or her dues invoice, please send Gary Cohn a note to request a paper copy.
