Meeting was called to order and previous minutes were read by Linda and approved. It was noted that 4 rigs have not paid their dues of $100.00 per year. Connie and Linda were asked to call those members who have not paid their annual dues and request that they get on board to support the club. New members or invited guests are to be allowed 2 free visits to check out the Club and decide if they want to be members . After their initial visits a prorated amount of dues will be considered based on how many months are left in our year. Membership is based on the 10 months we are active.
A long discussion was held regarding membership. We do not want the dues to be regarded as punitive but want everyone to realize and appreciate that the club has on going and upcoming obligations and expenses in excess of the one time charge we have been asking for from nonmembers. Our dues represent our desire to show outreach to new members . We wanted to recognize that a prorated membership scale may be appropriate for the second half of the year instead of requiring full $100 dues. We are trying to be as fair to as many members as possible while being able to support the club ongoing. We need those dues to continue to be a viable Club.
Please remember we still have a need for wagon masters for August and Oct.
