RE: MAAC membership reasonable?
Ultimately the fellow writing the check for his annual membership will decide if there is value for the $ or not when it comes to MAAC membership. If we see the membership numbers decline (likely so) we'll have our answer. The number of folks out there today that are refusing to pay MAAC, local club dues and initiation fees is increasing every year and the MAAC increase will only help this along. These same folks are flying wherever they can find a spot without any regard to nearby registered club fields thereby jeopardizing these club fields due to frequency congestion and uncertainty. As mentioned in a previous post, it may be high time that a critical eye be cast on the whole MAAC budgeting process, maybe it's time to admit that we cannot afford everything we have been able to do in the past.
