LCI Dues Increase Reminder

LCI DUES INCREASE

At the International Convention in Montreal last June, the membership voted for a small dues increase.  It’s been over 11 years since an increase has taken place.  Just something to consider as we prepare club budgets when it takes effect in July of 2023. Three dollar ($3.00) increase starting July 1, 2023; two dollar ($2.00) increase starting July 1, 2024 and two dollar ($2.00) increase starting July 1, 2025.
