Membership Information
To be a member of LIPS, you need to have a desire to promote education and have a great time doing so! New member dues are $175 annually and returning member dues are $150. Dues are paid annually beginning April 1st with a deadline of February 15. Members paying in full by December 31 are eligible to potentially participate in one of the HLS&R™ Champion Buyers dinners and/or parties.
LIPS meetings occur once per month. Participation varies amongst individual members - members chair committees, secure donations, and attend many events.
Our success is dependent upon each member being an active participant at all fundraisers; contributing time, money and/or auction items. Additionally, each member is encouraged to attend and work at least two shifts at each event.
Membership is limited in number; therefore, a select number of ladies can join each year. If you are interested in becoming a member of LIPS, please contact us at the email address below.
