At the May meeting, discussion about changes to club bylaws prompted some new business discussion topics. Specifically, someone brought up a question about club dues, other revenue, and club expenses.
Historically, it was stated, the club has two "significant" expenses annually--buying food for a summer meeting BBQ and "door prizes" at the December meeting/Christmas party.
The expense for these two items, plus the infrequent "put air in the club air tank", is approximately $400.
The club fund stands at a figure well above one year's approximate expenses. So the question became--"what should we do with our funds?", and "should we reduce club dues/renewals" to meet only the anticipated annual expenses?
You can pitch opinions and ideas here, but the real intent of starting this thread is to get everyone thinking about it, and encourage members to bring your opinion and ideas to the June meeting for further discussion (and possible action, depending upon consensus).
