The dues increase was $15.00. The $50.00 dues per year is more then reasonable. Back in the 80's and 90's I belonged to a car club and the dues then were $75.00 then.
The angst over the $15 increase is beyond me. The one mistake the TCA made was not increasing it sooner.
So come back and enjoy everything the TCA has to offer, it's a great organization.
