CHANGE OF POLICY BOOK

A proposal for a change in the policy on membership dues was submitted at the December 1, 2022 Membership Meeting. The Club has submitted a request to the Bureau of Reclamation for a piece of surplus property for a permanent range. The Club will need funds to build the range. The proposal is to incrementally increase the annual dues over the next 4 years, $10 a year, to $100. The other option would be an assessment at a later date on all members to raise the funds needed. The proposal also increases the work party credit each year. The proposed increases are:

2023 Dues $70 Work Party credit $25 New member dues $90

2024 Dues $80 Work Party credit $30 New member dues $100

2025 Dues $90 Work Party credit $35 New member dues $110

2026 Dues $100 Work Party credit $40 New member dues $120

The vote on this proposal will be at the January 5, 2023 annual Club Meeting and requires 2/3 majority to pass.
