Fellow RiverHillers,

The membership survey results have been tabulated and a summary report is now available for all to review – Survey Results (10/2009) (ZIP). The board is working on developing action plans and committees to further explore and develop proposals on the issues identified. The board is in agreement that the following important issues have been identified by the survey and these are the areas that will be pursued:

• Our membership is declining. Membership indicated a commitment to bringing in new members this year to reach target levels.
• Membership overwhelming agrees with the club’s vision and cost structure. The majority prefer assessments as capital improvement projects are approved.
• Priority for major projects are the replacement of the heating system followed by the new mattresses.
• Boot drying racks and on site storage are priority lodge additions.
• Membership wants monthly meetings during season and to have these at “improved” venues.
• Electronic communication (website and skizette) is preferred.
• Membership is satisfied with club activities.

Please use the form below or the one on the “Deals, Coupons, Discounts” page under Member Resources when ordering bulk tickets. This is the most up to date form.
