At the August meeting (as reported in July’s ‘Can) the members of TRASH discussed the raising of meeting fees from the current ten dollars to fifteen dollars. The debate was very cordial I'm happy to report with both sides of the issue being represented.
In these days of higher prices it is getting increasingly difficult for the taverns, resturants, and even members' homes to provide the hearty fare historically provided at monthly meetings. To that end, a motion was put forth that meeting fees be increased. Dissenters offered that a higher meeting assessment may scare off both existing and prospective members. Proponents of the motion offered that even the proposed increase, a TRASH meeting would still ve far cheaper than a typical outing to enjoy great beer and food (not to mention the stimulating conversation!).
A vote was taken and it was decided that meeting fees will be $10.00 through 2008 (not including the Christmas Party). Starting in January 2008 the meeting fees will be $15 per person, Thanks to all who particiapted in this important club business.
