Hi,
I personally do not think that dues are astronomical.  As for other chapters and divisions, each entity determines their own dues.  I happen to know that there are chapters which have the same dues as Krafters Division.  I was a member  of the Huntsville Alabama rocket city chapter before becoming the At Large chapter president for Alabama and the dues were $20.  I believe the greater issue for some folks is paying to take classes.  No one is being paid for teaching.  We have set aside at least $1500 each year and sometimes more to help individuals to go to convention.  We donate to the Jernigan fund each year.  We are paying $150 per year for a zoom account.  We are paying for the cost of owning the domain name for the organization.  No one is getting wealthy off of dues.  We have not set dues up to be a fund raiser, but because of Cathy and others who volunteer their time to manage the website , we currently have been able to save the money that used to go to pay for web site management.  We currently have 90 paid members.  If there is truly so many people who can not afford to pay dues why are they not speaking up or contacting Tammy or Joyce.  I have been a member since 2012 and no one has been turned away for not being able to pay dues.  Those who are concerned should bring up this topic at a board/ membership meeting for consideration.  Reach out to Tammy to have this on the agenda of her next meeting that she schedules.  
As in life we choose to make arrangements for things which bring us joy.  This division has brought me much joy for many years, therefore I will pay my dues because it is important to me.  

Sincerely,
Jill Rossiter
