Not much different from the BBQ you describe with friends and family as SterlingD, only yours was a fabrication.
But hey, since you like math so much, this club has 130 paid AMA members. That equals $11,050 in AMA revenue. That $900 equates to a whopping $7 refund for each of our members. BFD!
What is the ultimate objective of the event? Be a good neighbor (preserve what you have) or obtain new members (gain)?
As for a refund, can AMA afford to do that ... essentially making conscious decision to reduce the NET money coming in the door? Only time will tell. Though based on the total revenue trends from their IRS filings, I think we have the answer already as to the long term sustainability of their decision making.
