Bruce's points as he states below are right on the mark. New members will
never know about an increase (if inacted) took place unless they are told. Why
would you tell them?

an even better candidate for renewal than would otherwise happen.... They
also have no idea that the fee went from 10 to 25 unless you point it out to
them..... Our class fees are a distinct bargain.... as a matter of fact
you couldn't get an education like this without paying as much as 10 times
what we offer it for.... This is not an unreasonable way to cover a
financial shortfall.... I suspect that we will have little or no impact in
the implementation..... While we may lose some new members, the price is
NOT outlandish for what it returns.. Especially if the new member takes an
advanced grade or two..... We are still the best bang for the buck.....
