Salem Kroc Center Fees Questioned

Item: Columnist questions fees to be charged when Salem (Ore.) Kroc Center opens/Carol McAlice Currie, Statesman Journal

More Info: So as a donor, it is with some reluctance that I hold up a mirror to the membership rates recently announced by Salem's Kroc Center. Some of Salem's membership fees are noticeably higher than at other established Kroc Centers across the country, including the newest 123,000-square-foot facility that opened in May in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Salem's 92,000-square-foot facility, which sits on almost 11 acres on the northeast side of town, will be the second Kroc Center to open this year. The Salem Kroc youth rate is $15 per month or $180 annually. An adult membership is $25 per month, and the household membership is $100 per month or a maximum of $1,200 per year for a family of up to eight (grandparents included). It's a little less for smaller families.

Question: Are you OK with the fees charged at the Coeur d'Alene Kroc Center?
