Dear Member,
As Thanksgiving and Christmas approach, it is a wonderful time to reflect on our families, coworkers, and the many blessings in our lives. On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you for your continued support of our organization and the work we do for first responders and their families.
We are pleased to share that our membership has grown to 1,057 active paid members and continues to rise. If you know someone who may be interested in joining, please share our website: 100clubofri.org
IMPORTANT MEMBERSHIP UPDATE
Annual Membership Dues
Dues will remain:
– $100 for Individual Members
– $50 for First Responders
– $1,000 for Lifetime Membership
Transition to a Calendar-Year Membership Cycle
Our current fiscal-year cycle (May 1 – April 30) has led to occasional confusion for members. To simplify this, the Board of Directors has approved a transition to a calendar-year cycle, beginning January 1, 2027.
What This Means:
– Renewal notices for the 2026 year will begin going out in March 2026.
– Starting January 1, 2027, memberships will run January 1 – December 31.
– An auto-renewal option will be added to our website for member convenience
More details will be shared as we move closer to implementation

Support the Club — Host an Event
Hosting an event is a meaningful way to support the families we serve. Golf outings, dinners, concerts, and community fundraisers all make a lasting impact.
Building Our Endowment Program
We are developing a 100 Club Endowment Program, allowing members and supporters to make lasting contributions such as stocks, bonds, IRA distributions, 401(k) funds, or property.
Gifts may also be made in memory of a loved one, allowing their legacy to live on through continued support of Rhode Island’s first responder families.
More details coming soon.
End of Watch and Last Alarm Tribute Page
We are in the process of creating a dedicated End of Watch and Last Alarm Tribute Page to honor and remember Rhode Island’s fallen first responders. The page is now live, and additional names will continue to be added.
I would like to personally thank each and every member of our organization.
Respectfully,
Michael Bestwick
President, The 100 Club of Rhode Island
