The e-board would like to Thank the many Members that have submitted the various ideas as it pertains to our Membership Dues Structure. These ideas were generated due to the passing of a Dues Increase which was discussed on many different avenues to include the Quarterly Membership meetings in October 2007 and January 2008.

This is your Association and we are listening. In saying that, the e-board is executing an executive decision to post-pone the Dues Increase which was to take place February 1, 2008.

The Club and Individual Dues will stay at $35 for now and until we can take the many ideas recently offered and bring back an e-board recommendation at our April Quarterly Membership Meeting on April 20, 2008 in Mears, Michigan.

We do intend to be a 100% participant in United Four Wheel Drive Associations for the year 2008.

We do intend to retain a major portion of The Boondocker as we owe it to our many Associate Members in addition to each Club or Individual that chooses to have a hard copy in their hands.

Your patience and understanding is appreciated along with your many ideas.

Sincerely,

Mark Burns (Skip)
President, Great Lakes Four Wheel Drive Association
