[Board] Special request

[Dan Gingras]

My thought exactly… perhaps a combination of both… we can go for a $50 increase instead of $100 (Although $100 in 10 years is only an increase of $10/yr)

I personally think we should propose the increased membership dues as a necessity to stay healthy, and allow the membership base to vote on increasing the membership base in addition.  In addition I think our slip fees are outdated as well, was that increase going to be proposed?

If we can meet the requirements of the constitution in time for the meeting, I think we should let the members have a choice, after the financial facts are explained to them. 

 

They should be made aware that an increase of $100 per current membership would yield about the same revenue as the addition of approximately 45 new members. There may be some increase in attendance to some functions but we have wait-lists for many functions now, and we can reserve the ability to add members at a later date if needed. We would need some fact sheets indicating pros and cons, so the decision would be based on information and not solely on preventing an increase in dues.

Al Williams and a couple of other members have petitioned that a vote on increasing the membership be added to the annual meeting.

 

There is no clear  directions concerning adding member petitions to the annual meeting (nor any directions about BOD inclusions… perhaps we need to address this)  

 

Carol indicates that she can add a slip of paper to the mailing.

 

Your thoughts?

 

 

Dan
