This novel coronavirus has not only caused a crisis for our
public health systems, but for many it’s a true financial crisis.
Everyone is affected in some way, made uncomfortable either
by a volatile investment market impacting retirement savings,
by isolation, by unmet child care needs or challenging work
arrangements, and so much more. For some Rotarians, however,
the financial impacts are severe.
For members who believe that their only financial choice would
be to resign from Rotary because of this COVID-19 crisis,
the Rotary Club of Cheyenne leadership has approved a possible
alternative that may allow you to continue your Rotary membership.
Any Rotarian in good standing with this club who is experiencing
severe financial impacts from the COVID-19 crisis may make a
request directly to the Robin Sims, President, to ask for a temporary
suspension of his/her dues for the three months starting April 1.
During this three month period, a Rotarian granted relief pays no
Rotary Club dues, but remains a full member of the Rotary Club of Cheyenne
and is encouraged to participate in Rotary in any way possible.
If a Rotarian who has been granted crisis relief from dues is able to
attend a lunch during the relief period, the member pays the guest rate.
The Club Board has approved that up to ten (10) Rotarians may be
granted this relief, with names only known to those who would be
necessary for processing.
If you are a member experiencing a financial crisis and wish to apply
for COVID-19 Crisis Dues Relief, please contact
President Robin Sims (robin_sims@charter.net).
