new member options

[zen]

we have the dues set at $20/year currently. with that you get a VKG sticker and welcome letter and discounts with our sponsors (only one at the moment). i have been thinking of some options to make it even more palletable.

what do you guys think of increasing the initial joining dues, not subsequent renewals, to say $40 and include a free t-shirt and second sticker with joining? this basically covers the cost of the two. may have to be $45. depends what we do about making the t-shirt available. my thought was pick a standard one off of cafepress and order it through the club and just have it shipped straight to the new member.

what do you guys think about that? any other ideas out there?
