Roger,
That is great!

One way to make sure this number remains high while also raising club revenues would be to do like so many member organizations and offer lifetime memberships.

(Usually 20 offered at a rate about equal to "current membership x 20)."

This rewards loyal members (pay less over the long run), insulates member rolls from flagging during tough times, and gives the club a substantial interest bearing nest egg.

Any thoughts along these lines?

For the first time in club history, our membership has exceeded 1000 members.  (We currently stand at 1007.)

 

Club membership varies almost daily as new members sign up, and every other month as a few old members drop out or move away.
