Rotary Dues 101 - Since we have so many new faces, we thought it would be helpful to explain what makes up the $31 quarterly dues. Of those funds, about $17 goes to Rotary International, about $8 goes to Rotary District #6460 and $6 goes to the Highland Rotary. Rotary International is higher because they factor in the monthly magazine and have a smaller general liability insurance on our club. Also, the meal portion of your bill is based on $9 per meal at the number of Tuesday meetings that fall in that quarter. That is the amount we pay Michael's per person. If you should see a credit on your bill for make-ups, you are given a $9 discount per make up since you most likely had to pay at another Rotary's club's meeting. Occasionally we have special events that you might attend and those will show as separate line items. Any time you have questions about your bill or your balance, please feel free to contact Maura

Jeremy White - His trip to Slovakia
Jeremy introduced us to Slovakia, where he spent a year as an exchange student. He gave us some background information regarding the History, Government, Economy, Currency, Geography, Culture and Food. Some of the things we learned from him was that they eat 5 meals a day, and Jeremy put on 12lbs while over there. They also start school a year later and graduate at age 19. While he was over there, he did a lot of traveling and sightseeing, and very little studying! The Rotary club of Zvolen, Slovakia only has 25 Rotary members, very low attendance, very dry meetings lasting anywhere from 2 minutes to 2 hours, and no female Rotarians! From all his traveling, his jacket now weighs 6lbs and is covered with pins. Congratulations Jeremy! | |
