The list of clubs can be found online and there is a phone number or email address for each one so you can reach out to the leader directly to ask about any fees for the ones you might consider joining. I personally belong to four clubs - two charge $20pp per year and two charge $10pp per year. This works out to $1 to $2 per meeting which is really very nominal. I have also taken "Classes" through the enrichment academy in things like Yoga, Ballet, Jewelry and Photography. These were about $60 for 6 or so classes, so about $10 per session which is still way less then you would find a weekly class for elsewhere. There are plenty of non-fee offerings each week too. I suggest that you ask your salesperson to mail you a Thursday Daily Sun newspaper activity supplement and you can see an example of a weekly offering. If there is a "club" meeting listed that week the contact info in usually in the back of that newspaper too and you can contact them to ask about any fees if that is a club that interests you. To answer your original question the fees might go for things like coffee/tea setup at the meetings or a guest speaker. A common thing for new residents is to sign up for too many clubs and then just not be able to do it all and scale back. I hope that is helpful to you.
