Privileges and Perks

We're members of the Gardens; We pay our yearly dues. Their parking lot, though (15 bucks!) We have to pay to use. They toss in several passes Each year when we renew, But why make members pay at all? I haven't got a clue. This policy is bogus And another thing I hate Is on those chintzy passes There's an expiration date. A membership to something Should have privileges and perks, For what's the use of joining When that rule no longer works?

You've nailed this one, Ilene. It's kind of like those 'exclusive credit cards,' which charge outrageous annual fees ...

I get your point, Ilene, and why I don't belong to clubs or associations that require fees. Call me cheap, I'm not hurt. Call me smart and prudent, I thank you./ M

Seems everyone is out to make money, no reward for loyalty in this day and age. Tom

This parking issue not being covered has always bothered me. Not just for the money. It's non-sensical and it's driving me nuts!

how ridiculous Ilene! It sounds like the need to review their policies - doesn't sound like you get many privileges at all! hugs Jan xx
