This hobby and it's collectors have given me far more than I've donated. The friendships, the chips, the Las Vegas trips, traveling the great state of Nevada. I could go on and on. Those can can afford to could be of more support to the hobby. We just need to set up a membership dues level that recognizes the great disparity in $$$ among members. A graduated dues schedule would help. While some wipe there A** with $100 bills, most are just paying the bills. A premium membership would provide a recurring source of income.
Also 4 magazines is unaffordable!!! Go to 2 a year. Or at least back off to 3. If the Club were a private business we'd have done this a long time ago. Of course if we were GM we would have been publising monthly!
