Preparing for Another 100 Years!

How will we know the funds collected will be used for proposed improvements/repairs, versus going into operations?

This is a commitment that will have oversight by the Trustees of the club. The Trustees will ensure that all initiation fees and capital fees are placed in a segregated account that can only be utilized to pay for capital expenditures. Do we anticipate losing members if this is approved? We certainly hope not but do anticipate that we could lose between 5-10% of our membership with this type of financial decision. Our goal is to educate our membership so well that all members understand “why” this is being done so that they will see a very positive long -term vision for the club. One that they desire to be a part of moving forward. We are also committed to making the financial obligation as minimal as possible to accomplish our goals. Can I give more than what is being proposed as a donation to the club, and if yes, can I designate a specific improvement? Yes, and we encourage such enormous generosity. If we have members who desire to make capital contributions for a specific capital project, as identified by the club leadership, we will be happy to use those funds, specifically, on that project. How will this impact dues moving forward? We feel these efforts and financial decisions should help us to keep our dues obligations down. We say that because we believe in the philosophy of “more members paying less” and that the more we improve the facilities of Cape Girardeau Country Club the more new members will want to join and the more current members will want to remain with the Club.
