All Rotarians and clubs that remit their dues and send Rotary Foundation contributions to North America need to note the new address of lockboxes (special post boxes designated to collect these funds).

Effective 1 October 2006, lockbox addresses are changing for Rotary International, and The Rotary Foundation to the following.

For Rotarians and clubs that remit payments to the U.S.:

Send membership dues and payments to Rotary International:
Rotary International
14255 Collections Center Drive
Chicago, IL 60693

Send contributions to The Rotary Foundation:

The Rotary Foundation
14280 Collections Center Drive
Chicago, IL 60693

From 1 October 2006 through 31 March 2007, payments sent to the former lockbox addresses are automatically forwarded to the new lockbox. To ensure the most efficient processing, RI requests that all payments be sent directly to the lockbox addresses above, and not to the Secretariat in Evanston. Payments received in Evanston will be forwarded to the lockbox resulting in processing delays.

This change will not affect clubs' ability to make credit card payments online through Member Access, and members should not notice any difference in the processing of club payments. It will also not change the ability to make online credit card contributions to The Rotary Foundation.
