OLD BUSINESS

quotes.

Director Jolley, presented the board with a proposal that his committee put
together that would increase membership dues by $10.00 plus a $15 maintenance
fee that members can avoid paying by volunteering 20 hours working at the club.
Director Anderson suggested 10 hours would be more reasonable. Motion made and
passed to increase membership dues $10 beginning this year. Notification of the
$15 maintenance fee will go out with dues renewal in May, 2003 stating it’s
effective date is May 31, 2004, giving members an opportunity to volunteer 10
hours of help with chores at the club during this year to avoid paying the
maintenance fee. Whoever is in charge of the given work project will track time
volunteered by members.
