Why did the weekly fee go up this year?

                A decision was made by the board to increase the weekly dues to $10 because of the following:

•1.       To increase membership (as defined by the bylaws)

•2.       The cost of the room $300 a meeting

•3.       Cost of Food is $ 4.50/person

•4.       Broker's Tour Sheets $1/person

•5.       To be able to support local charities

•6.       To simplify change making efforts at the check in desk

This makes an average operating cost of $7/person per meeting.  The meetings have been run at a deficit for the previous 2 years.

The increase in the weekly price is to encourage the purchase of the Annual Pass and 12 Meeting Fast Passes.  An Active Member is defined by the bylaws as a person who has attended 12 meetings in a calendar year.  This can be tracked by the purchase of the passes.
