> First of all the $25,000 computer cost that we all saw in the budget.
>Yes it is an annual expense. AERC has signed a 2 year contract for $5 per
>member times 5000 members as maintenance on the computer program. When I
>shared many of the concerns from this forum about riders dropping their
>membership because they only ride 4 or 5 rides, I found that the non-rider
>fee has been increased to $10. So then when I said that AERC would now get
>$13 to simply type in a non-members name, I found the the managers will now
>pay $4 per rider instead of $3. And if you just want the newsletter, the
>subscription rate went from $26 to $40.
> Obviously if you are reading this you must have at least a minimal amout
