I gotta agree with what everyone has said so far. I am 22 years old, a full time starving college student, and I live up in Prescott. Now please don't tell me that $25 a year is too expensive for you because I paid it AND I make the trip down to Phoenix on the weekends for events just because of how awesome this group is. I am a new member for the past few months and cannot even describe how great this club is. I do photography on the side to help pay for school and Dave (the president) and the rest of the club have gone out of their way to help me out whenever they can to get me more business.

In all honesty, "too expensive" is just not a very valid excuse... $25 is a very small price for the greatness of this club. If you base your benefits of the club on only monetary or material things then maybe it's just not for you, I certainly didn't join just for discounts or otherwise. The awesome friends and great family environment are far more beneficial than any other value you may get from being a member. How many other groups will accept new members as if they have been here all along and how many other groups will send cards and phone calls to someone in the hospital? My opinion, you need some better excuses as to why you shouldn't be a part of it or else you're in it for all the wrong reasons.

Just my humble opinion
