[RVRC] Dues increase potential

[Mike Christiansen]

No one is working on nor does anyone want to raise dues. To raise dues we
need to change the bylaws and we are planning to not do that if at all
possible. The repeater is finally working pretty well so get out there on
the radio and drum up some new members! That will help pay some of our bills
while the new blood will help revitalize the club. I'm not yelling at anyone
here, I'm trying to get everyone excited to get the club back on the map so
to speak.   Mike, KB2VRM

There's always additional fund-raiser activities RVRC can do.  Some years
ago we ran an auction that generated additional revenue.  Marty, KB2JSG, I
believe was the point-man on that.  Other clubs run several auctions yearly
so that we, together with our hamfest earnings,  might come up with as much
funds as raising dues moderately would raise!  I caution the membership
against wholesale increases of dues as it has a higher than desired drop-out
effect.  
If other organizations can raise funds without assessment (or mandatory dues
increases), so can RVRC.  The club simply can't ''wish'' for funds, we have
to go out and generate/earn it!
