Jim couldn't we also run the risk that more people won't join the Club and few will renew their Club memberships and remain only members of the Chapter?

I was wondering how many CLUB members actually attend the Convention compaired the the number of actual members we have. Theoritically, if less than 50% of the membership attend the convention we could see the other 50% drop their club memberships and continue as Chapter members only.

My feeling is that the Club with just over 2000+ active members just cannot afford to loose too many members. Don't forget that we've lost many members although our membership numbers are 5000+ now, many members have let their memberships laps and received new numbers and some of these have happened several times.

I am wondering what type problem it would be for the club if the entire membership of the Silver Striker's chapter were to not renew their club membership at renewal? Probably just over 10% of the current membership rolls.

I have some concerns that I'll be posting on the Club BB when I get home tonight, which I am needing answers for.
