Dunster, I think I belong to the same large one (MVQG) that just raised dues to $30 but it seems like they had to to be able to cover ongoing costs. I would rather pay $5 more and continue to have decent speakers. We have oer 300 members and both morning and evening sessions of the monthly meetings; I go to evening meetings because I work full time.
