CLUB VOTE ON 2025-2026 ANNUAL DUES THE FIRST VOTE There have been two petitions about next year’s annual membership dues presented to the Board. These petitions have met the minimum requirements to bring to our Club Members for a vote. Although according to the By-Laws, the Board can set the Annual Membership dues. With this taken into account, the Board agreed to have the Club Members vote on these two petitions presented to the Board. The First Petition is to have the Club Annual Membership dues go back to $25.00 per year for the upcoming 2025-2026 season. These funds would be strictly for the operating expenses of our Club. The Second Petition is to have the Club Annual Membership Dues be $45.00 per year for the upcoming 2025-2026 season. These funds would be strictly for the operating expenses of our Club. o$25.00 o$45.00 For the Club Members who did not see the 2025-2026 Budget based on the $25.00 Annual Membership Dues, there remains less than $856.00 for the Social Committee. If the $45.00 is approved, the Social Committee will have an operating budget for the next season. THE SECOND VOTE The last two seasons, the Club Membership Dues included an additional $30.00 for the Clubs Capital Improvement Fund. This revenue has been used to purchase the light pole padding on courts 5 – 7, the shades by court 1, the industrial strength squeegee for removing standing water from the courts, a leaf blower and extension cord for drying the courts. The Board just approved court dividers for all of our courts. These were suggestions directly from our members. Other uses could include, with HOA approval, tiered seating by courts 1 & 2 which would have been very well used for the NIT and other pickleball events. This venture would take a continuation of raising funds for a project of this magnitude. This vote is to continue raising revenue for the Capital Improvement Fund. Instead of $30.00 per year, the Board suggested a $10.00 per year investment into the Capital Improvement Fund. That is $0.83 cents/month. Do you want to invest $10.00 per year into the future of our Club. oYES oNO Voting will begin around April 1st.
