I agree with you that $1 month is not that much, unfortunately, the dues 
aren't paid monthly, so the increase will be seen as a large increase, 
especially by people that are on a fixed budget such as myself.

I believe that the three largest expenditures are 1-insurance, 2-management, and 3-printing/mailing the Communique.Two of these three are pretty well fixed. Management looks like a large amount on paper but I doubt that a less expensive team can be found that can actually handle the job.So, again bottom line ,the answer is raise revenues. A $12 per year, $1 per month,  increase is not much.
