Before talking about raising dues you may want to wait and see what the current membership roster looks like. From what I hear a good number of members did not renew. Raising dues when you get nothing from the PC but a Review that is hardly worth opening up may not be a way to keep people in the club.

We have regional clubs w/ higher dues than the PC. (not "ours" lol!) I'd put the whole idea to the membership for a vote...something like if you want things to stay the same, dues will be "x" or vote to every other month or even, 8 issues a year, (there may be a few months to go back-to-back, I'd look at the 4 months w/ the least content and remove those), B & W only etc. Kathy, member GSDCA, DVGSDC Celebrating generations of Dual Titled TC'd Champions visit _http://www.pinehillgsds.com/_ (http://www.pinehillgsds.com/) In a message dated 3/12/2011 6:47:06 P.M.

Many think of the club magazine sometimes as the only perk for the dues money, and it half of what they got for the same money...well, doubt it will be received well and we could lose more less active members. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
