Re: Does your team charge a fee to join?
Our first year (2013) we kept the fee low at $50 so that we did not scare away any potential members. We had a strong group of 27 students. Last year we set our entry fee at $100 and we had even more members (34).

This year we are not looking at increasing the fees - however we are looking at a more complex system of fundraising and fees. I will not share it here as I don't want my team knowing exactly what it is. However, it will not raise the fees for our committed members - only those that are 'less; committed.
