What do you want out or a club?

Hi,

I was just stating that hosting is possible. In any case, where can we spend membership money ?

1) Get experts from abroad to do a seminar. Well..that's almost $1000 right ? Or get local speakers for free.

2) Web site....$100s. Or use canreef's for free.

3) Publish in newspaper or Buy&sell...10s Or we can put up a sign in the LFSes for free.

I guess what I am getting at is do we really need to collect fees in the beginning (assuming we are working at slave labour rates). We probably want to build up credability, membership and visibility before we start charging fees. With a larger membership, we can easily impose a $5 admission charge to see Dr. Shimek do a seminar. It would be rather difficult to do the same thing with a smaller membership.
