Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How many meetings do I attend before I can join?
A: Each guest is required to attend two (2)
consecutive meetings before an application can be accepted.
An inspection of an applicant's place of business is a requirement
of acceptance.
Q: How many votes are required for acceptance into the Chapter?
A: It depends on the Chapter's size. If the
Chapter contains fewer than thirty (30) members, then a minimum
of three (3) "NO" votes can permit the Chapter to
deny membership. If there are more than thirty (30) members,
then a minimum of 10% of the membership (tallied from the beginning
of the quarter) voting "NO" is required to permit
the Chapter to deny membership.
Q: How much does it cost to join a LeTip Chapter?
A: The initial membership fee is established
by LeTip International, Inc., and is separate from your local
Chapter's dues which are based on its individual operational
costs. Any additional questions should be directed to your local
Membership Chairperson.
Q: When are my dues required to be paid?
A: Most Chapters collect dues on a quarterly
schedule, and the Treasurer will pro-rate new members' dues
when they join to get them on the Chapter's cycle. The Chapter's
Board of Directors establishes the amount for each Chapter.
There are NO paid positions or profits involved, only the actual
costs.
Q: Who will notify me when I'm accepted for membership?
A: The Chapter's Membership Chairperson and
your sponsor (if a chapter member) will call you the day you
are voted into the Chapter. A letter from the President will
follow to welcome you to the Chapter.
Q: What is the "Lucky Devil" all about?
A: Each week a business card from the speaker
of the previous week is placed under someone's chair or plate.
The person, if a member, is required during members' commercials
to stand behind the person whose card they have and give a SERIOUS
commercial as if they were indeed that person. We do this to
reinforce the importance of the Speakers each week, and to keep
each member's attention focused on the meeting. (If the
card is at a guest's seat, then it is passed to the right until
it reaches a member). Remember, this is done only when
the tip bucket is being passed around.
Q: What's the "Lunch Bunch" all about?
A: Once every month, five (5) members will
have their business cards drawn by the Chapter's President.
These five (5) members will then treat their newest member to
lunch. All five (5) members will stand and the President will
appoint a chairperson who will arrange the luncheon. "Lunch
Bunch" helps members become better acquainted with their
fellow member's respective businesses. (There is a $5.00
fine for non-attendance.)
