Organize a Club Branch

In many communities, it is difficult to reach the 15-member minimum necessary to charter a traditional Quota club. Club branches can solve this problem.

A club branch is a small group of people who become members of an existing Quota club, but who hold meetings and conduct service activities at a location that is separate from the "mentoring" club. Branch members are full members of the mentoring Quota club, with all privileges and responsibilities. Because branches can be formed with a smaller group of members (minimum of 5), they can flourish where chartered clubs are difficult to establish. Any Quota club may establish one or more branches in its own community or any other community within its district.

• Send in your Club Branch Notification Form and New Member Forms.
  Once you have a minimum of five branch members, complete and send in the branch notification form and all new member forms (with payment). Once these items are received, your branch is official and your branch members are official members of your club. Print the Branch Notification Form and New Member Forms from the links below.
