Since my club reduced its dues by effectively $100/month, we've gotten over 50 new members.   The $220/month price point is apparently much more attractive than $320/month.  </description><link>http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=28090618</link><pubDate>4/18/2012 4:17:47 PM</pubDate></item><item><title>[Chris Forte] I wonder how much weather plays in that?

Rather than raise our dues by a modest $9/month, it's being put to a shareholder vote to LOWER our dues by $70/month along with some other changes.
