- Give a brief talk on your work field and background ( "New Member Spotlight" -mandatory)
- Attend a monthly Board meeting
- Serve as a lunch meeting greeter at least once
- Refer a new member or bring a guest to lunch.
New members are, as are all members, expected to participate in any number of club activities offered by the club. Participation is important in helping to promote community events and in developing a positive relationship with others.

All active members are expected to do the following.
- Pay Club dues promptly when billed.

A suggested minimum contribution is $25, although higher amounts are encouraged, while lesser amounts are acceptable.
