• D. Dues are paid by sponsors.

Answer: (A)

Dues are planned and collected on a regular schedule to support the club’s financial needs. They’re typically billed annually or semi-annually and handled by the club treasurer, which keeps budgeting organized and transparent. The funds are used for operating costs, events, facilities, and a reserve for future needs or emergencies, with late-payment penalties often outlined in the policy to encourage timely payments. This structured approach is what allows the club to plan ahead and fund ongoing activities. Dues aren’t simply voluntary donations, and while some clubs may offer a monthly option or rely on sponsors for specific activities, member dues themselves are aimed at steady, predictable funding rather than sporadic support.
