The by-laws of the Club include the following clause which requires reviewing each year:
Article 6 Dues
Annual club dues are shall be reviewed and determined by the Board each year, payable annually (July 1st) or semi-annually (July 1st and January 1st). Dues must be paid within 30 days of such dates.
Annual club dues include RI per capita dues, subscriptions to an official magazine, district per capita dues, club fees, and any other Rotary or district per capita assessment.
The Board shall consider subsidising club dues and membership expenses annually to facilitate the cost of membership which should not be an impediment to membership or participation in club activities.
Questions have been asked about the need for a annual audit of the Club books. The following extract from the R I Code of Policies states that a review by a qualified person is a requirement:
9.010. Club Finances At the beginning of each fiscal year the club’s board of directors shall prepare or cause to be prepared a budget of estimated income and estimated expenditures for the year, which, having been agreed to by the board, shall stand as the limit of expenditures for the respective purposes unless otherwise ordered by action of the board. All bills shall be paid by the treasurer, or other authorized officer, only after approval by two other officers or directors. An annual financial review by a qualified person shall be made of all the club’s financial transactions. (January 2008 Mtg., Bd. Dec. 142) Source: November 2004 Mtg., Bd.
