A great portion of your dues goes to Rotary International for their operating expenses plus the Rotarian Magazine and also to the District 7450 for their operating expenses. Moneys raised for charity can not be used for anything but charities. No one receives any compensation for any work done. Our club, at the present, elects to work on projects to make money for our charities rather than continously put our own money into the account. For that reason, we ask all members to participate when asked in the fund rasing projects where possible.
Meals are in addition to dues.
There are optional programs that you can participate in, Rotary Foundation and Gundaker Foundation, where fees are collected to support them. There is a separate catagory on this web site relating to them.
