When possible, this benefit is hand-delivered to your beneficiary in order to ease the burden of the expenses incurred upon your death. How is this possible? An assessment in the amount of $1.50 is levied against each member upon the death of a member. The assessment shall be distributed as follows: $1 to the beneficiary of the deceased member and $.50 to be used for operation expenses of the club. In addition to the $1.00 per member, the Beneficiary receives $10 for each year the deceased was a member of the club.
