Membership as of yesterday – New Open/Adult memberships up 4,478, renewals were down 2,102. Overall Open/Adult memberships up 2.7% to 70,678 year to date. Senior, Park Pilot, and Youth memberships were all up. Memberships are up 10,895 to 178,863 for a growth of almost 6.5% over this time last year.

Now if the 187,000 that's being tossed around is number is accurate why the difference? Now New opens are up 4478 good news but the renewals were down 2102 bad news considering the offer to renew at the old rate. Also keep in mind that while the youth memberships are great they are free thus bring in no revenue. Last time I saw a posted number on Youth Memberships it was 50,000. Out of those 10,895 that we are"up" how many are free?
Toss in the amount if club charters not renewed this year I believe that number is around 200 now.
