Our chapter has gone downhill also. We are down to so few members that we had to triple our dues just to pay EAA's insurance that covers them at our meeting place. We meet at a Cracker Barrel Restaurant and they have insurance, so really our insurance premium is just a donation to headquarters. We maybe have 8 to 10 members at the most show up. Sometimes there are only 5 or 6 of us. Several guys are building or restoring, but otherwise really nothing goes on with our chapter. We have had several members drop out because of the hefty dues increase. There has been suggestions that we just forget the chapter and meet as a "good ole' boys club" instead, since there really isn't a good reason for us to have a chapter anymore. Part of the problem, as I see it, is a suitable place at the airport for us to meet. The National Guard and Customs have kind of taken over the airport and there is no place suitable out there anymore to have as a meeting place.
