Our group charges $35 a year for dues.

Access to all club SIGs, and access to our MacClinic, where some of our
members who are Mac consultants volunteer a day of their time to work on
other members' machines.

General Meetings (held monthly except December) are open to all; SIG
meetings are open to members. No separate cost for either.

Neither. We use a program called FirstClass which gives us our own BBS-like
environment which is available to members over the internet. The client
software is available at no charge to members.

We've found that since the advent of the Internet there isn't as much
demand, but we do periodically put together a CD of shareware for members.

In addition to all the things listed above, our group also rents office
space which we use for holding our servers and for conducting SIG meetings.
I've also found our BBS to be a great place to ask a question (and to get it
answered) and appeals to all skill levels. A past president described our
group as "members helping members" and we try to continue in that tradition.
