From the article on Evolve the park....

Here is the second and third points in the form of a question about what would happen if we change the way the Social Club does business. Please remember that this is a discussion and not an attack it reflects only my opinion.

  • Who will fund those park activities like coffee, popcorn, equipment upkeep, etc.?
  • Will the Social Club exist to fund clubs or will each club fund their selves?

Well, this would be an operating point the Social Club itself would take up. In the past fund raisers and raffles have restocked the treasury well enough. We would expect that the Social Club would do as it always has and find the money in that way.
The direction the Social Club would take with earned money would be new and different. It would be dedicated to keeping up the activities that are shared by the clubs and to helping the clubs grow interest in the park.

Maybe the clubs would give a portion of their treasuries to subsidize the Social Club.
It might work as if the Social Club was our Federal Entertainment Government and the clubs as the States that it helps. Maybe not. How it would work would have to be worked out by an elected group of residents who would figure that out, we should think.
