So FORC gets 40% of IMBA's dues? Sounds like a good deal. And my wife and I save money by getting a FORC membership for free when we pay our IMBA dues.

Donations as a 501c3 without spending a couple of years and thousands of dollars? Sounds cool.

More time for drinking riding and building by the peeps doing membership stuff- priceless.

I don't ever see FORC Losing its "club" feel. Its too much of who we are AND who we want to be. We''ve done amazin g things with almost zero dollars because every time we open a park, we get 20 local doods who join up to help.

As mountain biking has grown so have the expectations from land managers and mtbers. I think this allows those who have vision to have a better chance of developing that vision. If I can't see your vision, I''ll ride my bike and hope what you do works out.

Enough chit chat. Next meeting, call a vote. I vote go for it.
