keyless entry door
Imagine. New sand for the courts and a keyless entry door lock on the shed. I'm a dreamer.
active members should have access to the shed. Let's consider a keyless entry door lock, with a keypad, and active members get the combo.
changes, sometimes they say change is hard, but this is easy. I'm calling to take the December dinner fee out of the member dues. By advocating for this initiative, individuals can join a movement to help the club lower dues and attract poor members. Here it is: we pay member dues and we pay event fees, during the year. the December dinner is an event, and it should be a separate event fee from the member dues. Only if you go to the December dinner would you be asked to pay for the dinner, right? It should be your choice. just as a tournament is an event. When a tournament comes around you signup, pay a fee, and attend the event. the December dinner is also an event. When the dinner comes around, and if you want to go, then you signup, pay the fee, and attend the event. Done. Can we do something simple and remove the December dinner event fee from the member dues. Thanks for listening.
