Thank you for all suggestions, I don't think we can change dues in the middle of the year but will bring this up for a vote next meeting for next year. Thanks again.

I think all the work the people in the Troy area do cannot possibly cover all their expenses and time. (I used to work for a non-profit, so know how easy it is to spend your own money). At least $20 a year, better yet $25.
