Proposed changes to club DUES

(1/3) > >>

John:
I have a proposal before the board to decrease some dues and make some minor changes as outlined below…

•       Individual (includes all ages/juniors) - $10.00/year with Bulletins emailed or $12.00/year with Bulletins sent via US mail (available to US Zip codes only).

•       Family - $16.00/year with Bulletins emailed or $18.00/Family with Bulletins sent via US mail (available to US Zip codes only).

•       Lifetime Membership Dues, with Bulletins emailed (no option here for US mail), are $200/Individual & $300/Family.

•       You may pay for up to 2 years in advance.  Dues are not refundable.

•       Due to postage costs only email memberships (or e-memberships) are available to anyone without a US Zip code (This way individual & junior members in Canada and other countries wouldn’t have to pay for a family membership as they do now). 


--- Quote ---Current dues are:

Yearly Membership Dues are $10.00/Junior (17 & under), $12.00/Individual and $18.00/**Family.
Lifetime Membership Dues are $200/Individual & $300/Family.
You may pay for up to 2 years in advance.  Dues are not refundable.
Due to postage costs only Family memberships are available to anyone without a US Zip code.
Memberships are renewable by January 1st of each year.

Please chime in with your thoughts.  Of course I would like to see the proposal pass, but if you see any parts that you see as negative please let me know.

Mike Gilbert:
Assuming the proposals were presented as a package deal, all or nothing, why not try again with point by point, individual proposals?   

SkiBuny:
John,

How about keeping the memberships the same price, but charging a fee for mailing bulletins? Might be easier to pass, and it would increase, rather than decrease, money into the club.

Tailfeathers:
For what it's worth, I'd support the changes John.  Makes sense to me.   :)

God Bless,

Jeffery and Cheryl Vance:
Just out of curiosity why didn't this proposal pass?
