Annual dues payment schedule ready to roll

October 1 marks the beginning of the new Kiwanis administrative year—and the beginning of a new way of doing business: annual dues collection. The new procedure bills clubs once a year, according to their anniversary dates (the club’s “organization” date, not its “charter” date). Kiwanis International sends each club its roster, which the club secretary/treasurer updates. The roster determines the club’s obligation to Kiwanis International.

Clubs were reminded of the new procedure earlier this year in a letter accompanying invoices sent under the semiannual dues billing process. The invoice notes the club’s official organization date. Clubs with anniversaries in September, October, November, and December, need to pay International dues by December 31, 2005.

Questions about the annual dues process should be directed to the Member Services Department at 317-875-8755, ext. 390.
