The Chili Open planning is well under way.  We do still need plenty of volunteers to help prepare the event.  If you are able to help out between now and the end of February please talk to TJ or another Chili Open committee member. Help is particularly needed with the corporate sponsor and auction committees.  The next committee meeting will be held at the Brew Kettle event, 6:30pm January 17th.

 

In honor of the 30th anniversary tickets are $30 until January 30th, $120 a foursome until February 14th, and $50 at the door.  We are also selling VIP tickets this year for $125, with a minimum purchase of 2.  Tickets are currently on sale on the website chiliopen.com 

The club will have the opportunity to vote on an amendment to the club bylaws in two weeks time.  The goal is to attract businesses who may have multiple members who want to join, but not all of whom can attend every week.  The text of the proposed amendment is below, and a flyer giving more details is at documents/en-ca/0127c06e-561e-41c0-893c-bdfb56333ae9/1

 

BYLAW AMENDMENT:

 

Corporate membership is defined as an agreement with a business, which pays for individual membership dues for two or more. The business itself cannot be a club member – ONLY individuals can be members.

 

Attendance ­– At least one representative/individual member should attend weekly meetings. 

 

All individual members are required to go through induction process. Since all corporate members are full club members, they are entitled to all benefits of membership and are required to abide by all rules set forth in the Rotary Club of Strongsville By-Laws (e.g. running for any club office).

 

Company is responsible for payment of dues and fees for all active members (Rotary International dues, fees, district dues, club dues, weekly breakfasts).

 

Company will automatically be charged for weekly breakfasts for ONE primary member on a monthly basis.  Breakfast charges for additional corporate members and guests attending the same day will be billed to the Company on a monthly basis.  The Company has the option to designate more than one primary member, multiplying the number of weekly meals automatically billed.

 

 

 

Initiation fee will be charged one time for each member at the same rate as regular members

 

Monthly dues (includes club, district and international dues) will be charged for each member at the same rate as regular members  .

 

Weekly meals will be billed monthly for primary members as well as any members in attendance above the number of primary members at the regular meal rate.
