I am not a member, but I have attended some of their events and I have to say i was treated as thou i was one. Like it was said, bring your pride and joy to the shows and start talking to people.They don't bite. I have met some great people from CMC. As for the money, take your family to the movies. That will cost you a arm and a leg.
I don't know, you just can't make everyone happy. They just want more, for less.
