NEW MEMBER ADD FEE

On April 1, 2010, the new member add fee which must be paid to Kiwanis International changes.  Rather than the flat fee which had been charged, the fee is now apportioned based on the number of months left in the Administrative Year.

Here are the rules:

• The new fee applies to all clubs in Kiwanis -- Tiers A, B and C.
   
• The fee will be based upon the date the new member is entered at Kiwanis. So, if a club sends an "add" in January for someone who joined two months ago, they will be charged the January rate. The graduated enrollment fee brings the member into Kiwanis, until the club is billed in October 2010.
   
• Districts will decide whether to implement a similar fee structure. Kiwanis International will continue to charge the current fee, if applicable.
   
• The rates listed below apply only to new members of existing clubs. The current rate for charter members of a new club remains in effect. Members joining a new club after the charter presentation will be charged the new member fee for an existing club.
   

Further information is available from Member Services at (800) 549-2647, ext. 411. You may also send an email to memberservices@kiwanis.org if you have questions.
