DCWC Membership Invoice Update |
|
Dear Member,
By now you should have received your club membership invoice. As you can see this year's billing for membership has been divided into two bills, each one for six (6) months.
Your current bill reflects your fee for the period:
April 1, 2022, thru September 30, 2022.
The second bill will be sent out in mid-September.
Due to inflation and rising costs, the second bill will likely reflect an increase in membership dues. However, our newly constructed location and improved benefits will more than compensate.
|
|
|
|
According to Bylaws Article III Sec. 24:
"Any member who has been a member for twenty years, and is currently in good standing, who is 75 or more years of age on January 1st of each billing year, shall be automatically granted a waiver of dues from then on."
If you are a qualifying honorary member, please contact the club regarding this invoice.

Highlights from Luncheon with LAPD |
|
Wednesday, May 18, 2022 DCWC hosted its monthly luncheon and was honored to welcome our ever-growing and essential relationship with the LAPD.
This was a well-attended luncheon where DCWC members were able to mingle with our LAPD Captain, Central Division Senior Leads, Sargeant, and Metro Police.
DCWC President Moshe Salem praised the LAPD on behalf of our members for their effort in maintaining a high level of security in the Jewelry District.
LAPD Captain Morales said, "It is agreed, that in order to have a safe community we need to work together and involve our leaders as well." It was expressed the importance of working together to ensure a safe community and reach out to your local city council members.
A new campaign being promoted right now is ‘Stash it, Don’t Flash it!!’
By wearing minimal jewelry while you are at work and going to the parking lot etc. you will draw less attention to yourself from those wishing you harm. We are trying to avoid onsite and follow-home attacks.
