I think a more realistic number for membership is $25-$50 and more likely to 
produce more memberships on an ongoing basis. A higher number is also more 
impressive in showing support for the organization.

The $250 and up level is usually a sponsor level and may require personal 
solicitation except for cohousing professionals who donate as a form of 
advertising, if nothing else.
