There is a
suggested rental charge for groups, based on the number of
people who attend a particular meeting. Voluntary donations
taken during meetings are used to pay this
charge.
The collected
money is used to pay for coffee, utilities, building
maintenance and other costs. However, groups will not be
denied access to the facility merely because they fail to
collect enough to pay this suggested charge.
The club also
solicits members, who pay monthly dues to the facility.
Membership is not mandatory to attend meetings. Rather, it
is an extra show of support and the dues are used for the
aforementioned purposes.
Is this the
only source of income for the club?
No. The club
also will accept donations. Also, the facility Conducts
fundraisers - such as the sale of T-shirts and sweaters, and
rummage sales - to raise funds.
How is the
24 Hour Club Inc. Managed?
A volunteer Club
manager oversees much of the day-to-day operation of the
facility. He is assisted in his duties by club members, as
well as by court-ordered community service
persons.
Annually,
dues-paying club members elect members to the board of
directors (the procedure for this may be found in the
bylaws). These board members meet at 1 p.m. on the second
Sunday of the month.
