What are the financial requirements of FVT&W membership ?
We have expenses to cover so we do collect dues. A new family coming into the club for the first time is expected to pay a $20.00 initiation fee and annual dues of $18.00 (pro-rated by month according to the fiscal year – against the month of joining.) $6 of your annual dues goes to the Illinois State Organization (I.S.A). It provides a newsletter and a multitude of statewide programs that are available to our membership. Being an Chapter of FCRV – there is also a requirement for a new family to belong to the FCRV National Organization. FCRV dues range from $25/yr for a single year – to $48 for 2 year – $69 for 3 yrs – to $400 for a lifetime membership. These FCRV dues go to supporting the National Organization and their programs. Unlike some ‘other’ camping organizations – FCRV has a minimal, mostly volunteer staff so very little of your FCRV dues go to paid management.
