Past Due Policy

The Board of Directors of the Lima Rotary Club has adopted a new past due policy.
As most club members are aware, the Lima Rotary Club Board of Directors has been making a considerable effort to reign in outstanding dues over the last six months. As mentioned from the podium at past meetings and previous editions of the eSpoke, this is a problem that has “plagued” our club for a long time. Efforts to collect outstanding dues has been a challenging task, but many members have really stepped up over the last couple months to help the board get the ship back on course. Over the last six months, the receivables have improved from $34,355.00 outstanding to $14,681.00. We still have work to do and everyone’s efforts to review the status of their personal account is a task on which we all need to remain vigilant. If you’re having any issues receiving your invoice, please let me, Dave Frost or Kevin Bill know as soon as possible. Likewise, if there are issues regarding the amount due of one kind or another, please let me know personally and I’ll do what I can to assist with the issue.
Additionally, on Tuesday, December 8, 2015, The Lima Rotary Club Board Of Directors unanimously passed an amendment to the Lima Rotary Constitution. The amendment, provided herein, will go into effect January 1, 2016.
Past Due Policy – Article 12 Duration of Membership Section 3 Termination – Non-payment of Dues Paragraph (a) Process Any member failing to pay dues within ninety (90) days after the due date shall be notified in writing by the President at the member’s last known address. If the dues are not paid, and or a written response outlining a payment schedule is not received, on or before ten (10) days of the date of notification, membership may terminate, subject to the discretion of the board.
The participation and engagement of every member of our club is very important to the work that we do locally and internationally. We all have a responsibility to share our Time, Talent and Treasure with others. That’s why we joined Rotary in the first place, right?
Thank you to everyone who has worked hard to get the ship back on course and also for your efforts to keep it there.
Sincerely yours in Rotary,
David Runk and Dave Frost
