I would rather raise the dues than the prep work for the show.
Yes! But mention raising dues and member seem to faint in the aisles. My DH's groups and clubs the most inexpensive ones have dues of $100 a year. Most guilds have $25 a year. DH asked me why the guild puts a low value on what we do for $25 year. His groups, all men, would never stoop to $25 a year.
