Silence Dogood has a great blog post over at The Middle Chamber about Lodge dues. I personally like the $20 per month plan, though each Lodge must decide what it needs to support itself and it’s programs. I know we could certainly do alot more in our Lodge if the dues were up’ed by even another $20/year.

Again, this is a matter of priorities. It depends on one’s financial situation.
Of course, basic necessities of life must come first. After that one can look back on what disposable income you may have.
What value is the Lodge to you? More than a movie, cable TV, or other items that you may want, but not NEED!
That is the age old decision we all must make in a society where people are valued based upon what they have , not who they are inside!(Morality issues).
If you can truly afford, $300-400 in yearly dues, then it is not too much!
ONLY YOU KNOW DEEP DOWN INSIDE!
