Fun Fine Application
Fun Fines are permitted for Rotary 14 members to utilize as personal (for example birth announcements, anniversaries, etc.), business (for example significant milestones – NOT general advertising), and non-profit announcements (for example special events – NOT general advertising nor solicitation of funds).
The Secretary needs to be notified prior to the Fun Fine being announced by the member to ensure there’s ample time in the agenda for additional announcements. At that time, the member may choose from a “Fun Fine Menu of Services”:
Fun Fines delivered by the Secretary or Fine Master (limit 20-second and must be provided in writing to the Fine Master and Secretary on or before Friday prior to the meeting):
- Verbal announcement only - $5 minimum
- Verbal announcement with flyers on tables – $10 minimum (Rotarian provides the flyers)
- Verbal announcement with a PowerPoint slide - $10 minimum (Rotarian provides the slide to the Fine Master, Secretary and President on or before the Friday prior to the meeting)
- Verbal announcement with both table flyers AND a slide - $15 minimum
- Fun Fines delivered by the Rotarian (Subject to time on the agenda, limited to one-minute with $1 added for each additional second):
- Verbal announcement only - $25 minimum
- Verbal announcement with flyers on tables – $25 minimum (Rotarian provides the flyers)
- Verbal announcement with a PowerPoint slide - $30 minimum (Rotarian provides the slide to the Fine Master, Secretary and President on or before the Friday prior to the meeting)
- Verbal announcement with both table flyers AND a slide - $30 minimum
*costs subject to change
While Fun Fines are reserved for Rotary 14 members only, an exception may be made for visiting Rotarians with an announcement regarding city-wide or district-wide relevance.
All fines go to our Service Fund to support club projects and grants for the next Rotary year, so please be generous. Our Lincoln Rotary Club #14 Foundation, which is the fiscal agent for the Service Fund, is organized as a 501 (c)(3) organization making these contributions tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Receipts will be sent in January of each year.
