Based on personal experience, yes.
JR, since you brought up the socializing aspect a few posts up.
I'd attend a club meeting every year or so to see if things had changed for the better. Since I shed some light as to how some of the club monies were spent and the membership dropped to half of what it was, the meetings moved from a community center to a German restaurant which was a public place...nothing was reserved or paid for by the club.
I used to get a laugh when the prez would come up to me and ask if I was buying a membership. I'd say, "whatever for? this is a public place". I'm sure that had him walk away fuming. Apparently, it was more important to him to sell memberships and increase the member numbers than bringing like-minded people together, the latter which is what clubs should really be about. Now you know why I have such a low opinion of clubs.
