Let's Talk MONEY

LCI DUES:  This is how Lions International does business.  It is the International Administrative Account!!

• Your club will be invoiced online (in your portal) on July 1st and January 1st.  They are due immediately.  You may be able to request a mailed invoice.

• You will be billed $25 per member for each billing for a total of $50 per member per year.  

• You may send a club check, or the Treasurer can pay online using your bank account.  Must be paid from your ADMIN account.

• Clubs will be put on financial suspension if these dues are not paid by the 4th month after the billing (Nov & May)

DISTRICT DUES (State) DUES:  This is how the District (State) does business.  It is the District (State) Administrative Account!!

• Your Club will be invoiced by the District Treasurer by August and February via email.  It is very important that your Treasurer’s email is entered correctly into the portal.

• You will be billed $6.50 per member on each billing for a total of $13 per year.  Of that $13, the (State & Promote Texas) gets $7.50 per member.  So….that leaves the District $5.50 per member to do the business of the district. 

• This dues payment will be mailed to the District Treasurer as requested on the invoice.  Must be paid from your ADMIN account.

• In this billing, you will also be billed for Texas Lions Camp Dues which are $21/per member per year.  This donation allows the TLC to offer services at no charge to the camper’s family.  Please make your CHECKS payable to the Texas Lions Camp.  (TLC dues can be paid from Admin OR Activity account.)

100% Charities Donations: These are our Lions Charities selected by the District Governor each year.  These are the charities you raise money for in your fundraising efforts.

• The 100% donations will be sent to your Treasurer via email on a SEPARATE statement from the District Treasurer.  It will come to you only ONCE a year in Aug-Sept.

• While the 100% donations are not required, you should donate something to these charities unless your club is in a serious financial condition. 

• The invoice will show the recommended amount you should donate to each charity.  These can be paid from Activity OR Admin account.

• At the treasurer’s request, please write a separate check to each charity AND enclose ALL of them in one envelope and send them to the District Treasurer (as requested on the invoice).  This allows you to notate how much you sent to each charity and ensures that your club gets proper “credit” for being a 100% Club.  DO NOT send them straight to the charity as you will not get the proper credit for your donation.

• Many clubs will increase their donations to 200% and more. Your club makes that decision when budgeting.

Our current 100% Lions Charities include: 

District 2 S-5 Youth Program, Leader Dog, Lions Club International Foundation (LCIF), Tx Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center (TLERC), Texas Lions Foundation (TLF), Texas Lions Museum, World Services for the Blind, and the Texas Lions Camp (this is an additional donation to the camp on top of the Camp Dues assessed)

Club Dues:  This is how your club does business—Administrative Account

• Club Dues are specific to your club Policies & Procedures and vary throughout the district.

• The Club Treasurer is responsible for managing the club’s dues.
