Dues for this new club have yet to be established. In order to meet our goal of chartering this club in March, we will have to elect officers and make a decision on dues sometime in February. Meanwhile, as long as we’re officially unofficial, participation is free.

As a baseline, I can tell you members will need to pay $33.75 in dues to Toastmasters International (a slightly lower fee than for members of a club that is part of a traditional district). Club dues are still TBD, as we figure out what the club needs to budget for its own operations. I’ve proposed that charter members be charged a total of $48 to join (assuming we charter in March) and $41.75 to renew in October and every 6 months thereafter. Again, that’s not a final decision, but I think you would be safe to assume the expense will be no more than $100 per year.

Not included in the above is a $20 new member fee for anyone who is not already a Toastmasters member.
