If a volunteer asks for money it is most unusual.

Groups in rec centers are not supposed to be for profit, unless an outside group rents the room for some occasion that the rec center must approve.
We belong to 11 clubs, since 07, and all have yearly dues, except for one. Dues pay for, snacks, entertainment, badges, trivia games, prizes, and donations to certain causes.

We pay by check, for each club, all clubs have over 400 plus members, and are non profit. No other payments are excepted
