Venice chamber raises Early Bird fee to $100
The Venice Area Chamber voted to charge sponsors of the monthly Early Bird meetings a $100 fee to cover a projected $80,000 annual budget shortfall. Printing and mailing costs for 850 members total $100, and directors may shift mail-outs to sponsors or pay for printing. Some worry the hike will spark opposition while others suggest co-sponsorship. The $15,000 shortfall stems from a May 1982 switch to annual billing and pro-rated dues. New bills go out in August.
