I have been in a few community and service organizations that required work 
and dues.  That we choose not to require a paid membership is good, but 
those dues do benefit us all in the long run.

The International Lions Club is the only* international non profit service 
organization that garentees that all money donated through them goes 100% to 
the cause you donate it. To be a Lion, you pay. Your membership dues run the 
organization. For the Lion's to get donations, Lions work. So, as a Lion, 
you pay for the opertunity to work.

As we are not a charity organization, it is almost like comparing apples and 
oranges, but it gives a simular idea. As a Lion, you pay for the opertunity 
to work. As a member we pay for the opertunity to work.

The majority of comunity organizations do earn profit from either their 
members or the contributions their members bring in. I just wanted to clear 
this part of the issue up.
