People join the RMHUC and participate in Club activities for reasons that are similar to why they chose to attend Harvard:

• To meet cool people who know cool things
• To extend perspectives by learning and doing cool stuff
• To be part of a community with shared experiences

Or, in short, to enhance their own and others' lives.

Members at all levels support the Club's operations through their tax-deductible dues.  They also receive:

• Priority reservations and/or discounts at Club events
• Member rates at events of other Ivy-League clubs in Colorado
• Member rates at events of other Harvard Clubs around the world through the HAA Global Pass program

Members at higher levels obtain higher priority in capacity-limited events and are invited to special events for those who make significant financial and service contributions.

The chart shows the general breakout of our 2011-12 budget.  Your tax-deductible dues provide a cushion to help us keep the price of events closely matched to their actual cost, and they also help pay for:

• Underwriting of no-charge speaker events, community service events, and more
• Contributions to the Harvard College Scholarship Fund and the College Summer Internships
• Operation of our Web site, electronic calendar and postal mailings
• Club Officer training
• Operating expenses of the Schools Committee, which co-ordinates the interviewing and evaluation of applicants to Harvard College and the recruiting of those who are admitted.

In addition to your membership, you also have the opportunity to contribute directly to our Scholarship Endowment Fund and to our Summer Undergraduate Internship Program.
