You are 100 percent correct, there is a lot more to being a member of any Club than the membership dues. Yes, around 20.00 is what the dues are per year, but what is needed is working members that give of their time to hold hunts, guiding, judging, whatever is needed to have successful hunts. My club held Turkey shoots and other fund raising events, we made enough money to actually give back to the community, hefty donation to the Volunteer Fire Dept., helping those in need and other causes. Everyone in the community was very supportive of the Coon Club. Most of the members like myself have gotten older, died or quit for different reasons. The club and grounds are paid for and the club is still going, but only a few members these days, gone are any fund raising events, just hosting coon hunts these days, almost a thing of the past. Pretty much the way of many Clubs in this day and time. I hope the new rules and programs will excite the new generation and the Clubs will regain strength and new members. Dave
