RE: Why do we have outlandish fees to join AMA clubs?
I too am intersted in how to reduce expenditures and cut costs in order to pass that savings back to the members. Are there shared expenses with another club or group? Do you have some supplement to your treasury?
Financial problems in the club always seem to be the biggest obstacle to growth in my opinion. Like Doc Austin said, initiation fees certainly detract from bringing in new people, but I have seen more clubs with them, than without, usually becasue of the costs associated with keeping and maintaining the facility.
