ok
70,376 in from bb members minus the 23,000 spent leaves 47,376 in actual revenue.
divided by the almost 1000 members gives us approx 47.00 per.
now where they came up with the 72.33 per member number is anybody's guess. possible did not subtract the 23,000 cost. because i can not see anyone paying AMA more than going rate for memberships to hand out, i do not think that bb paid 70,376 plus 23,000 to be able to give away the memberships.(about 90.00 per member)

You even have a leg up on most of us, you work in a hobby shop and are front facing with prospective new members all the time. Looks like plenty of folks were able to do this in 2015. At least 5 people did it in TX. You asked earlier where all those new members were...there's at least 15 in the TX area!
Wonder how many folks know that AMA program is out there, along with getting a discount for being a CD.

I guess I look at the information that was presented at the EC meeting, and the notes of that discussion to give me the data as far as the results of the program. It appears Matt has another source that is giving him information as well, so in that regard it makes it that much more difficult to understand.
Perhaps more info will come at the next meeting.

That's a pathetic turn out with all things considered. It's not the program STEM is a great idea but poorly executed in most instances. I along with several other club members were asked to "advise" at a LHS ( local high school) wanting to start a program. They had all the equipment anyone could ask for but the bureaucracy involved killed it. Never ending road blocks by the paper pushers overcame those with the good intentions of starting the program, I'm sure a few others had much better success than we did I our case it was a exercise in futility.
Really as shame.

Another club that seemed to have no issues. Really interested to hear about who put up the never ending road blocks. Don't understand why that wasn't made clear the first time.
