VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
2024-2025 MSR DUES
IF YOU HAVE NOT YET PAID YOUR CLUB DUES FOR THE 2024-2025 ROTARY YEAR, PLEASE MAKE YOUR PAYMENT TO JEAN SEARFOSS, CLUB TREASURER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  THANK YOU!
 
On May 30, club Secretary Val Walk emailed Dues Notice for the 2024-25 Rotary year to all active members. (Rotary’s year runs from July 1 to June 30.) Many thanks to members who have already paid, via check or PayPal!
 
Please note that, in the process of preparing the 2024-2025 Budget, the Board approved a dues increase to $250.00. While Rotary International dues and District dues have been increasing for many years, Morning Star Rotary dues have remained constant for over 10 years.  This was not a decision made lightly by the Board, but a necessary one.
 
You have the option of paying for the full Rotary year (July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025) or for a half-year (July 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024.)
 
Instructions for submitting your payment ($250 or $125) were included on the invoice.
 
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact club Treasurer Jean Searfoss jsearfoss@cementemployers.com, or any club officer.
 
Thank you in advance for submitting your payment prior to the due date of June 30, 2024.
