CLCC Questions
Facts – Elite Membership – 1800 & Over – 28%; Patzer Membership – 72%
1. Does CFC apportion its time, effort and resources according to this breakdown?
2. If not, and more than 28% of CFC’s time, effort and resources are spent serving the elite, is this justified given the general mission of CFC?
3. If the general CFC mission supports CFC disproportionately serving the "elite", does the membership agree with the current CFC “Mission”?
