If we supposedly have a good build-up of funds to use for a "rainy" day, why can't that be now?  I have been a member since about 1977 and can remember the years that we had to borrow money during the winter to just pay the bills until the dues were received in the spring!  And, the condition of the course was pretty darn good.  The "older" members or long time members have invested their money to help get the financial situation to where it is now!  Why not get the course back in the condition that is once was and let them enjoy it now?   Spend money now and let us all plus the 250 members on the waiting list invest in the future!    Other clubs raise their dues because they have only 80-120 or so members.  We have a guaranteed 350 membership money every year, so next time use the money we have rathe than padding our rainy day money!  We could be shut down for two weeks, but 350 membership's money is in the bank!
