Great post Marty!

I'm still awake. Perlowski is the guy that has to nap before the sun goes down. <G>

>>If for example the current Board increased dues with the intent of spending for a specific project and a subsequent Board negates (for whatever reason) that project, would you refund the dues to those members who had paid it? No, the funds would stay in the Club's control until they were used for something else. (we are a non-profit organization so there is a limit to how much we can accumulate that is not earmarked for a project, but that's the Treasurer's problem <g>).<<

Big money projects would almost have to be written into the club constitution, either as a change to the constitution (requiring a vote of the entire membership) or a change in the bylaws (which could be inacted by the BOD as I read the constitution.) The latter possibility would leave a lot of people out of the loop IF a BOD had a specific agenda to make changes by decree. I don't want to see that happen!
