Why is it necessary to pay an annual $25 membership fee to be an LRO member?
While the annual $25 membership dues or a lifetime $350 contribution is not mandatory to be an LRO member, all Lucent retirees who can afford to pay the dues or make the contribution are requested to do so. We will accept any amount of donation. There must be funds to cover certain expenses associated with operating the organization, such as the LRO website, postage for mailings to retirees, conference calls among LRO leaders to make decisions, occasional trips for officers to meet with Lucent executives, and fees to gain legal advice/support from attorneys. All LRO officers and volunteers provide their time and talents with no financial gain.
