F A Q How many votes are required for acceptance into the Chapter? It depends on the Chapter's size.  If the Chapter contains fewer than thirty (30)  members, then a minimum of three (3) "NO" votes can permit the Chapter to deny membership.  If there are more than thirty (30) members, then a minimum of 10% of the membership (tallied from the beginning of the quarter) voting "NO" is required to permit the Chapter to deny membership. How much does it cost to join a LeTip Chapter? The initial membership fee is established by LeTip Internantional Inc., and is separate from your local Chapter's dues which are based on its individual operational costs.  Any additional questions should be directed to your local Membership Chairperson. When are my dues required to be paid? Most Chapters collect dues on a quarterly schedule, and the Treasurer will pro-rate new members' dues when they join to get them on the Chapter's cycle.  The Chapter's Board of Directors establishes the amount for each Chapter,  There are NO paid positions or profits involved, only the actual costs.  Who will notify me when I'm accepted for membership? The Chapter's Membership Chairperson and your sponsor (if a chapter member) will call you the day you are voted into the Chapter.  A letter from the President will follow to welcome you to the Chapter. Who pays for the guest's breakfast? The Chapter will pay for the first one and the guest pays for their second visit. What is the "Lucky Devil" all about? Each week a business card from the speaker of the previous week is placed under someone's chair or plate.  The person, if a member, is required during members' commercials to stand behind  the person whose card they have and give a SERIOUS commercial as if they were indeed that person.  We do this to reinforce the importance of the Speakers each week, and to keep each member's attention focused on the meeting.  (If the card is at a guest's seat, then it is passed to the right until it reaches a member).  Remember, this is done only when the tip bucket is being passed around. What's the "Lunch Bunch" all about? Once every month, five (5) members will have their business cards drown by the Chapter's President.  These five (5) members will then treat their newest member to lunch.  All five (5) members will stand and the President will appoint a chairperson who will arrange the luncheon.  "Lunch Bunch" helps members become better acquainted with their fellow member's respective businesses. (There is a $5.00 fine for non-attendance). What is a Qualified guest? A Qualified Guest is a person whose occupation is not represented in the Chapter, and if permitted to join, would not be in conflict with any of the Chapter's members.  Guests are invited for two (2) meetings, and they must decide about joining at the second meeting.
