At the July meeting, the club approved an increase in annual dues, which kept in place discounts for spouses and a free membership for youth members but should allow us to meet our financial obligations to the Hawaii Region, the U.S. Area and Y’s Men International without having to raise extra money.
The new
dues are $80 per adult member per year and $40 for a
member’s spouse. Also $40 a year for a young-adult
member (18-25). Under-18 are youth members and therefore
free.
We expect to do a lot of fund-raising still, but it will be
for YMCA and community causes rather than having some of it
go into paying some of our obligations to the Y’s Men
organization.
Those obligations add up to as much as $125 per member once
we include donations that are voluntary but expected.
Not counting those, the mandated contributions per member
are $10 in dues to the Hawaii Region, $35 per person to
Y’s Men International, U.S. Area dues of $17 and a
Hawaii Region annual assessment that is currently estimated
at $19 but could change.
By the way, now that we are on the subject of dues, members
are reminded that the dues for 2008-2009 are, well, due.
