club dues are $400 initiation fee plus $875/year
in addition you must make 2 mandatory meetings, and 2 of 8 other meetings (if you dont they charge $50 ea meeting)
do 8 work hrs / year (or pay $25 / hr)
sell about $200 in raffles/function tickets (beef steak) if you dont sell them you buy them
you must contribute to at least 1 of our 2 trap shoots a year, or pay a fee of $25. (if you shoot its $10/rd bring your own ammo)
all in all, were loosing property in the general area, and are taking in members for money so we can get property that is a little farther from the club's base in barbertown NJ.. each member just got accesed $50 this year because of property taxes going up... been doing fund raisers more and more each year to help out. we should be in good shape next year now that we know what to expect for taxes..
