As bad as it sounds, maybe "we" need to raise the dues a bit in order 
to build a respectable bank balance..

I know of local ham clubs with less than 50 members that maintain a 
bank balance of over $ 6,000., that club does have an e-mail 
reflector & NO mail costs other than what is required to maintain 
repeater licenses (Members who are trustees of the repeaters pay 
applicable electric bills & phone connections out of their own 
pockets. One repeater does have a phone patch.).

The $ 6,000.+ bank balance sure comes in handy when the club 
repeaters need work..
