So let's look at the math. AMA Club annual total costs:
30 members at $75 for AMA + $40 for club charter + $80 for site insurance = $2370 each and every year for the "privilege" of having a club of 30 AMA members. Anything less than $2370 a year for insurance ... and the club members are ahead. As club grows in size, the savings is even larger. And that is money that could go into field improvements, land purchase funds, etc. Increase it to 100 members, and we're talking over $7600 each and every year.

So say it 30 members is the break even point. That means a club of 100 could bank over $5000 each and every year. That's more than any AMA field grants. And after six years, it's more than AMA gives in field grants in an entire year! What I hope members see is that the tithing to Taj-Muncie is really just sending them big dollars that go mostly to staff.
