The point of this is.....

CAN WE MAKE IT CHEAPER TO GET INTO OUR CLUBS without going into the red?

Its not going to really hurt us to TRY is it? Can we do better?
Mr. Casey,

I suggest that you run for an office in the club and see what you can do instead of complaining about how much things cost. I think your vision will become 20-20 instead of fuzzy images of club expenses.

In defense of John, he is an officer in his club http://www.wdarc.org/. They have a extremely nice facility. I would love to know how this plan works out for his club. John, please keep us all updated.

Thanks for the information and link. His dues at $60 for the facility they have is cheap. Since he is an officer I am really surprised he would like to have lower dues!

We have a similar field with a 700 foot paved runway and UC circle, but no float lake. I have tried to get our club to increase our dues so they would have more money for more improvements, but a lot of members resist.
