1- WHAT IS VALLEY
OF THE SUN ACTIVE 20-30 CLUB?
The Valley of the Sun Active 20-30 Club is part of
a national fundraising organization which raises money
for children's charities. We are one of four Active
20-30 Clubs in the Phoenix metropolitan area, and
the only one that admits women to its membership.
2 - HOW MANY MEMBERS
ARE THERE?
We have approximately 60 current members between the
ages of 21 and 39. Our goal is to have 75 members
helping us with VIVA 2008.
3 - HOW DO I BECOME
A MEMBER?
We hold two membership drives per year. During those
membership drives prospective members are required
to attend three meetings and one "hands-on"
event within a designated period of time as well as
pay a $30 application fee to be paid no later than
your second meeting. After completing the prospective
requirements, prospective members are voted in by
the board.
4 - WHAT ARE THE
TIME COMMITMENTS?
We ask that all members attend 60% of the meetings
in a quarter, standing committee meetings as scheduled,
and fully participate prior to and on the day of our
fundraising events. We also require that members participate
in a Florence Crittenton event at least once a quarter.
General meetings generally last 1-1.5 hours. Formal
meetings sometimes last longer if we have a guest
speaker. Standing committee meetings may last longer
depending on committee goals.
5 - WHAT ARE THE
FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS?
Our monthly dues are $25, paid in quarterly installments
of $75. Our national dues are $80 per year, paid in
July. National dues are prorated if needed for new
members.
6 - HOW OFTEN DO
WE MEET?
We meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month.
Meeting locations may change and additional meetings
(Executive or standing committee meetings) may be
scheduled.
7 - MAY I EXPECT
A MEAL AT EVERY MEETING?
During our formal meetings (the second meeting of
the month), we usually schedule our meeting around
dinner by patronizing one of our sponsors. During
informal meetings, we usually do not eat.
8 - DO WE SUPPORT
OTHER 20-30 CLUBS?
We have terrific relationships with all three Valley
men's Active 20-30 Clubs. We often volunteer for their
events, donate money toward their charities, and offer
names of potential new members for their clubs. Many
members of the men's clubs have participated in our
fundraising events as well.
9 - DO WE HAVE SOCIAL
EVENTS WITH THE OTHER 20-30 CLUBS?
In the past we have enjoyed happy hours, mixers and
holiday parties with the other clubs. Our Social Chairperson
coordinates with the other clubs on arranging these,
and we hope to have many more in the near future.
10 - WHAT ARE STANDING
COMMITTEES?
Standing committees support specific aspects of the
club, which need more time and manpower than a general
meeting. Standing Committees include: Charities/Events,
Membership, Public Relations, and Social. The by-laws
require all members to be involved with one standing
committee.
