I wanted to fill in a little more here, As of now we have no Club cost, However we will be setting a our own personal SDIRB club website, So a small yearly membership fee of $12~$15 would be helpfull to keep that up, plus would help out with other fun stuff for the club. It would be more like a yearly donation for all the help you would get plus everything you can learn. Combs44 & Myself have talked about setting up a Account for a Non~Profit club that would require 2 people to sign to spend any funds.....Having all club funds info available for any club member to see at any meeting.

It would be wrong for us to ask for club fees or donations without any overhead. I feel having our own club site would be a great benefit for SDIRB. This is something I have been playing with.

Please feel free to input on this topic anyone.

Thanks John
