Chapter 34 has been at $25/year for at least the past 10 years or so. No other assessments. We don't have life memberships at the Chapter level.
We have usually been able to maintain a fairly level bank balance, but that has mostly been the result of hosting the B-17. Since it went off-line a few months ago, we've started getting a little low. Bigger expenses are hangar and insurance. Newsletter relatively inexpensive since it only goes out hardcopy upon request. Out of 52 members, only 12 receive it via snail mail. The rest receive a PDF via email.
