Dues
Key Club Dues
In order to remain an active member in Key Club International, it is required that you pay dues to the organization each year. Dues for members of the Carolinas District are $16.50, $10.00 of which goes to Key Club International, while the remaining $6.50 goes to the Carolinas District. As a member, you will pay your dues to your club adviser, who will record and update your club’s roster information in the Membership Update Center (more information below).
Please keep in mind that club fees cannot exceed the International dues amount of $10.00, according to Key Club International by-laws. This means that clubs cannot charge members any amount greater than $26.50.
Deadlines
The Early Bird deadline for dues is November 1; the deadline for all dues payment is Decembet 1. Following this deadline, there will be a period where normal club suspension begins by Key Club International and, after a substantial period of no dues payment, will eventually lose their club charter. The Carolinas District is seeking to have all clubs avoid this and turn in dues by the Early Bird deadline. Our District Board willing to assist you and your club in any way to achieve this goal.
