<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have a question for you…</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Does any club require volunteer hours or service as part of membership to the club? What was the consequence if they didn't participant?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">If yes, does your club have 501C3 status?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">If yes, how did you word it so that it didn't send up red flags on your application?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Currently we are trying to get our 501C3 status. They told us that we couldn't require hours of service with a payment for not participating as part of the dues. In our example "First skiing member of the family needs to either put in 24 hours of Dock and Lift time or pay $300."</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So I was wondering if other clubs just live with the 80/20 rule or if they had something else that you did.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any help would be greatly appreciated.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thank You</FONT>
