As you know, we have notified all clubs that the portion of the dues increase authorized by federal regulation will be added to the semi-annual settlement for the second half of 1971-72. If the freeze allows us to do this starting November 13th, we will charge eighty-eight cents of the original dollar. If the freeze is lifted on November 13, when the original ninety-day freeze order expires, it would allow Kiwanis International to charge clubs an additional · eighty-eight cents per member in the second half.
In addition, shown separately and based on your reported membership for the first six months of the administrative year (October 1, 1971 to March 31, 1972) you will be billed for a portion of the increase in dues for the first six months!: hs. For example, if the "freeze" on the growth of our international obligations is lifted at the end of the original 90-day period, which would be November 13, 1971, this would represent a twelve-cent reduction in first half obligations. In any case, the total amount of the added obligations will not be invoiced until the second billing semester.
