Dues Structure Change

Tri-Cities Metallic Silhouette Association Posted on by

TCMSA has tendered a request for 120 acres of surplus land from the BLM.  This property is about 4 miles north of our current location. If the request is approved, we will need the funds immediately.  The BLM will not do a real estate contract and you can not get a bank loan on bare land. The monies will be needed for the land, all closing costs and legal fees for the Club to become the legal owner.   This will insure we have operating funds for development and normal operations. This will increase our funds by about $65,000 in fours years.

At the annual meeting on January 5th the body voted with over a 2/3 majority vote to adopt the following dues structure:

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 new dues for 2023 will apply to dues paid at meetings or by mail postmarked after January 5. If you attended a work party in 2022 your 2023 dues are reduced by $20.

The work party credit stated for each year applies to the following year’s dues. Example: if you attend a work party in 2023 the $25 reduction applies to your 2024 dues.

Mandatory Renewal Form

In order to keep our database current for contacting members the Board of Directors has decided to make the use of our renewal form mandatory in order to renew your membership each year. It must be submitted whether you renew by mail or at a meeting. The preferred method is to fill it out online and print so it is legible. If you do not have a computer and/or printer it can be done at any library. The link is on our webpage in the menu. Renewal Form

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.
