The lease is held by me for a hunting club. The board sets the amount of dues. All of last year's members are allowed to renew and can make an upfront PMT or 3 monthly payments. We (the board) essentially left the dues the same, just eliminated the upfront payment discount. All of last year's members were invited back. I have not heard from 5.

Based upon who has paid and committed to pay, I have enough $ to cover the lease and fall plant, but that's about it. I had 19, 3 left, 11 have paid or committed to pay and 5 have said nothing. That puts me at 11 members which is what the lease calls for as a max of standers. But the current dues aren't enough to accomplish our objectives. If the 5 who haven't said anything don't pay, then I'll have to decide about adding a person or paying some out of pocket.


Ultimately to keep the member count low, dues need to increase.
