Wheaton Lions Members Responsibility Agreement

The Wheaton Lions Club is an organization that thrives on the active involvement and participation of its members. Members have various financial and other responsibilities. This policy outlines the Club’s expectation of members.

Member Responsibilities:

1. Dues
Club dues are currently $135 and reflect payments for lunch and dues to Lions International and lions local dues. Dues are assessed quarterly in advance until a member formally resigns by letter or orally to the secretary or president. At that time, a final billing will be rendered. Your financial responsibilities remain after resignation until paid in full.

2. Participation
All members are expected to make our luncheons an important part of their weekly scheduling, to physically participate in at least one of our major fundraising events during the year (Candy day, Reindeer Run, or Golf Outing), and become an active member of at least one of our committees.

3. Candy Day
Candy Day is a major Wheaton Lions Foundation fund raiser and Lions International event. Donation collection at various location throughout Wheaton is a physical requirement of all members. On Candy Day, members are expected to spend two hours collecting donations at assigned locations. Those not participating will be assessed a personal donation equal to the then current expected average member collection, currently $125, which will be added to their next quarterly billing.

4. Lunch clean up
Although all members are encouraged to help bring food to the table and help clear the dishes, new members will be expected to help each time they attend for the first (6/12) months of membership.
