Remember that ACE is a non-profit/not-for-profit (can't remember which one) organization entirely run my volunteers, so money can be a little tight. Basically, dues go towards publishing costs for the two publications, flyers, and the web site. And to be perfectly honest, ACE gets plenty of exposure thanks to all those Discovery Channel specials that features ACE in some way, shape, or form every time. For a ~7000 member organization, that is plenty.
