Lodge Dues

[Wingnut]

A thought I really like... when raising dues and fees, at least in Texas. Put in your by laws that your dues and fees will be $xx ABOVE the minimum that GL requires. This way you dont have to change your by laws to raise fees plus it keeps your 'lodge keeps' margin the same so your lodge budget doesnt take a hit if the GL raises the per capita!

Our lodge did this in 1982. We set or dues at 2x the rate of Grand Lodge dues.
Over time, our dues have systematically raised from $16 to the present $53.
