To become a member, each prospective member fills out a membership form and pays annual dues:

Full-Year Membership:
  • Regular Member: $120
  • Student/Senior Membership: $90
Half-Year Membership (Sep-Dec or Jan-Aug):

Payment methods

Dues can be paid in a variety of ways:

  • Zelle (sent to zelle@lakesidepride.org)
  • PayPal

Givebutter

Lakeside Pride will be utilizing Givebutter as a new way to collect dues for the 2024-2025 cycle and moving forward. Members that want to split their dues into monthly payments should continue to use our PayPal link. For all members, Zelle and PayPal are still valid ways to pay your dues.

Benefits to Givebutter

Givebutter does take a small cut of any donation made as a processing fee. The benefits of using this platform include metrics, an automatic database that eases the burden on our board members when organizing donations, and customization for our fundraiser campaigns. Reach out to development@lakesidepride.org if you have additional questions about the platform.

Dues can either be paid all at once or in monthly installments. If the prospective member has arranged a payment plan, dues are paid via PayPal, cash, or check. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, dues must be paid (or payment plans must have begun) by one’s third rehearsal.

As an organization, Lakeside Pride Music Ensembles caters to a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds, and as a strict, inclusive policy, we never stop a prospective member from joining due to financial concern. If you are interested in joining, but would like to be a name-your-price payment plan member, please make the arrangements with the treasurer (treasurer@lakesidepride.org) and the member resources officer (members@lakesidepride.org).
