Well, as a director I just filled the clubs Lear Jet and that ran me almost 75 K
OK let's try this then,,Awards, sponsorships, kids events, Web site maintenance,stocking the on line store, purchasing membership packets, underwriting fishing events,postage, and recovery from the Naca losses, plus a host of others,,,,,,it should be known that all directors pay their own way to all events, no humongous expense accounts, and directors volunteer time energy and talent, Most of our Major events, by the time you factor in Permits, Insurances, food, etc, are mostly BREAK EVEN.......been a while since I handled New member packets, but by the time you took into consideration, the purchase of materials to put in them ( some items are donated but some are not) postage to mail it out, etc, that 25 dollar membership was dwindled down to about half,,,,,I personally think we do terrific on about 14 bucks or less on a new member
We have plans to make an even bigger presence in the sporting world and that takes money,,,,,not only do we need to counter the BAD PRESS, and MEAT EATERS, and MEAT KILLERS, but we need to establish the club and our targeted friends as a bona fide Sports mans Club and the CARP as a sport fish,,,,,,,doesn't come cheap, and it's not easy.....
We sure could use some more help.....
