Membership Dues Increase

Posted in: Bay Crest Park
response to dues increase propos

Jack,

I think a financial statement listing income and expenses for the association for the last few years would be very helpful to our residents before they vote on ANY increase. Could you please include these in the next newsletter or post them on-line so we can all make an informed decision?

The participation # for mambership always seems to stay constant at @ 75%,
and we can probably assume that this figure will remain constant barring a significant increase.
Brick Wall adds beauty?!?!????

Anthony,
I have my doubts whether or not a ''brick wall'' is going to add to the ''overall beauty of our community''. If I had to choose between Seminole heights (as you mentioned in your message) with a brick wall, or Bay Crest without one, I'd take Bay Crest any day!!

The problem we have in the Association is coming up with projects to benefit the community. We have about run out of ideas. What projects would you suggest?

Thanks for your interest.

Membership Dues & Larger Project

Bruce

Please see my reply to Anthony. I pose the same question to you. What projects would you suggest?

As for going out to collect dues, this is the way we have increased our membership. A few years ago, we were down to 65 members, today we have 705, and that is because we go out, knock on doors, and ASK residents to pay their dues. Depending on people to mail thim in voluntarily just did not work well.

At the moment we have more money in our bank account than we have ideas of what to constructively spend it for. I constantly solicit suggestions in the newsletter, but responses to date have been nil. We need more ideas more than we need more money at the moment.
