Announcements

=>Rotary Membership Dues Billing Changes

Dear Fellow Rotarians, 
 
As a reminder from our announcement in April, and at the recommendation of our budget committee, the 2024-2025 board of officers and directors approved a dues increase of $17.50 per quarter, or just over $5 a month, effective July 1, 2025.

Please know that we do not make this decision lightly. While our leadership team and staff have worked to identify cost-saving measures, we continue to see increases in almost every expense of the club. Most notably, the dues that we pay on your behalf to Rotary International and Rotary District 5750 will see a combined increase of nearly $17 per member.

Additionally, the office will implement a small change in how the EREY and 25 for 29 contributions are billed. This will not increase the annual amount of the contributions, only spread the billing of the contributions evenly over each of our four quarters. 

On behalf of the 2024-2025 board, I want to thank all of you for your understanding. Do not hesitate to reach out to any Board member for additional information. Your commitment to service and fellowship is what makes our club exceptional. 

Thank you,

Suzanne Mitchell
President 2024-2025

World Community Service Travel Opportunity


We have a travel opportunity available through our World Service Committee. Thanks to your contributions to The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International, we were able to complete an Auto Mechanics Training Global Grant in Piura, Peru.
Mary Jane Calvey is leading the efforts of planning a trip to celebrate the successful implementation of this grant in Peru and invites any Rotary member plus their spouse who may want to travel to the celebration and meet fellow Rotarians from the Miraflores Rotary Club of Piura.  Travel dates will be September 20 through September 27, 2025 and a travel agent in country is assisting in lodging and transport accommodations.  Should you wish to join, you can even choose to add time in Peru if you want to explore other parts of the beautiful country. For more information, please contact
Mary Jane Calvey.
