If you’ve ever served as an officer or board member of a Rotary Club, you’ve likely been involved in discussions or debates about dues. The common debate is whether the club’s dues are too high. Interestingly, those who complain about high dues are often the same people who spend hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars on discretionary purchases. Have you ever bought concert tickets or dined at an expensive restaurant? Such one-time purchases can far exceed your Rotary club’s annual dues.
