Please explain where the money comes from.

==================
Ken, in the Mensa Model the annual funding would come from the annual
dues collected by Chess HQ and sent to the District umbrella ... about
$10 per member from the national $49, etc., just like the real Mensa
does it.

So, in order to fund local yokels, it is necessary to bankrupt the
national organization? Or do you have suggestions on how to cut
$10/member from the national organization's budget? Or, do you advocate
raising dues to $59 so that the national organization has $10 to send to
the local yokels?

Why not just speak plainly and say: "the money given to the umbrella
organizations is taken from the members"?

Under your plan, would the membership have any say in this use of their
money?
