=>Accounting Email Change - 1st Q Statements will be emailed July 1, 2026 


On July 1, 2024 the Rotary Club of Oklahoma City updated our accounting software to QuickBooks Online.  With this change, the email address that sends your statements has been updated to:
quickbooks@notification.intuit.com
Please add the above email address to your safe senders list and check your spam/junk folders for communications from our Rotary office.  Membership dues statements were emailed and we appreciate your assistance to ensure timely payment.

Membership Dues Increase- July 1, 2026

For those paying quarterly, dues will increase $5.00 per quarter, or $365. For those paying annually, dues will increase to $1460.  

The cost of everything is going up, including the expenses we incur as a club. At the last club board meeting, the board voted to raise dues by $5.00 per quarter. That won't cover all our increasing cost, but it will help. We are looking for alternatives to keep dues down going forward.
