The non-member day fee goes entirely to AERC.  The per-rider fee still
has to come out of the "regular" entry fee.  So I agree, an argument
that the non-member day fee increase is helpful to ride managers
doesn't make sense.

That said, I've never liked the non-member day fee (same logic that Joe
has offered) so can't speak to supporting or not supporting that
increase. 

I'm amenable to a reasonable increase in dues as well as to the increase
in the rider fee.  Being a member has certain benefits, but I also like
the rider fee increase because those of us who ride pay for some of the
additional services that we get through the rider fees, rather than
having those things funded just by a dues increase, which is paid even
by non-riding members.
