Anima Oketch, a member of the club&#8217;s executive comittee made the announcement on social media. Famously known as Naima Ferrari min Bentley, she announced that the exercise will kick off on Tuesday at 10 am.\u00a0 The membership fees will be Ksh 1000 per year.<\/p>\n<p>Each member will receive a card and later a debit card. Both are made available by Chase Bank<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/gormahia.net\/images\/member-cards.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"486\" height=\"189\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With corporate sponsorship unavailable, the club has had to increasingly depend on its fan base for support. There have been membership recruitment drives in the past but none were aggressively pursued.\u00a0 In the past, the club also announced other initiatives like season tickets and the so called operation OKOTOPS which fizzled due to lack of follow-up.<\/p>\n<p>At a rate of Ksh 1000 per fan, if the club can recruit 30,000 fans, they will equal the amount that was being disbursed by Tuzo which is approximately ksh 30 million. A target of 30,000 fans seems feasible with a well planned and well executed membership drive.<\/p>\n<p>One possibility for the club to consider is tiered memberships where fans who pay higher membership fees can access more member services.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/gor-mahia-to-kick-off-membership-drive\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gor Mahia will start a new and energized\u00a0 membership drive on Tuesday May 13.
