Club Status, what in the world is that?!

Hey there CKI!

Clubs have recently been asking many questions about what their club status means on the Club Information Listing sent out every other week from Circle K International. In the past there were five club statuses based on dues. Now there are only four statuses, again based on dues:

→ Paid (club minimum dues in on time);
→ Suspended (no minimum by November 30);
→ Retained (paid for at least one member by September 30);
→ Inactive (No payment has been made by September 30).

There are three basic rules to the logic problem of club status and they are:
1. A club can move from “Suspended” to “Retained” with any payment.
2. A club can remain on “Retained” status indefinitely so long as any payment is made
3. A club can reactive its status (move from inactive to active) by paying dues for the minimum, submitting a corresponding roster, and paying a $100 reactivation fee.

All this means is that clubs only need to go through the hassle of “rechartering,” or, in this case, “activatization” if not a single person pays dues to all year long. Even if this were the case for a club, they would only need to pay $100 (along with dues) to get back on track.
