In this article I would like to describe what we found and what you should expect to see on the ballot for our annual club meeting in Febru- Jon Reed Membership ary. First, we found that all eight membership categories are still valid and serve a good purpose. The Woman Associate category is already discontinued and will close when vacated by our current Woman Associate members. Another item we examined was our two Non-Resident Member categories. We found that Non-Resident Class I serves to retain members who start as full Resident members but then move outside of Brevard County, while Non- Resident Class II serves to attract new members from outside Brevard County for a reduced initiation fee. So we have recommended keeping these categories as is. In terms of bylaws changes, we did find four items we are recommending to the full membership for approval. - Raising the age for automatic Past Commodore eligibility to the Honorary Membership category from 65 to 72. This is based on increased life expectancy data from the U.S. Census Bureau over the last 30 years. - In the case of a divorce situation, allowing both members to retain a membership if desired for an appropriate fee. This is in keeping with our recent change recognizing both spouses as equal members. - Acknowledging the 1/2 initiation fee we offer to legacy members and extending it to year-round. This is a significant new member generator, and is similar to our recent change to extend Summer Trial memberships to a year round program also. - Clean-up and simplification of our dues section. (No material changes.) These recommendations are intended to bring our Club a little more up to date, improve our financial position, and retain/attract members. In early November, we completed our third Prospective Member event for the year, and I am pleased to report that we continue to do better than planned on new members versus resignations. I am grateful for having served as your Membership Committee chairman this year, and I want to thank our Membership Director Emily Carew for all her hard work and her warm and generous smile which go a long way with our members, both new and old. I look forward to serving you again in the upcoming year.
