Overview

Mission

Our club was formed in 1909 as a recreation area for hunting, fishing, boating and hiking for exclusive use of 32 memberships and has stayed at that same size the entire period to present. Our members are assessed $1500 per year plus $50 per night they use the club plus guest fees per night for any guests they bring with them.

What it reported doing in 2024

We employ two caretakers to support the club who live onsite. They take care of the club including cooking, firewood, cleaning fish and game for the 32 members and their guests who each spend 4 to 10 days a year at the club. The program expenses for this years filing include maintenance required in updating plumbing, electrical service, insurance, taxes, salaries and other operating expenses.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
No current program activity. The filing reports no program spending for the current year.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
