In light of the recession, suggest a reduction in the cost of membership dues.

If club has members that have migrated, and we can't delete them, there should be provisions made, where clubs are only required to pay membership dues for the active members, & not those that have migrated, or may have decided to quit the club, due to other obligations (family, work or otherwise).

The money for membership dues, in this economy is not approriate, especially of newly starting clubs, and even some well establish KI clubs, that have some of it members suffer lay-off as companys cut staff, as a cost saving/ survival startegy.

There are KI clubs who financial resourses are weak, and funds for membership dues would limit such clubs ability to fund their own local projects in their respective communities. A waver or a reduction in the payment requirement for membership dues, should be considered in light of the recession.

The bouncing or deregistering of KI clubs, that are economically challenged, but have the willing hearts and minds, to render alturistic service, in this harsh economic environment will not assist.
