Why is there a fee to join this social club?

We are a non-profit organization that is 100% funded by membership fees and donations which are primarily used to support administrative functions and member events.  A breakdown of our typical expenses include:

*****

• • There are fees associated with using group management software to organize events and group functions.  We originally started out as a Meetup group, but opted to form our own identity with our very own website!  #movingonup

• • As a non-profit organization, there are occasionally state and tax fees associated with establishing and maintaining our organizational status

• • The majority of remaining reserves after administrative costs are covered are used towards purchases for group events.  This includes, but is not limited to, thing like craft supplies, food/snacks, event decorations, entertainers, etc

• • We will occasionally use group funds to make donations to local charities (in addition to giving our time during charity-based group events)
