While I certainly applaud this little girl's accomplishment, I'm not
convinced that "this is where it's at."  A 7yo is the distant future of
the sport, while a 20yo, 30yo, 40yo, etc. are the immediate and near
future of the sport.  Let's not discourage the singles from our sport with
membership fees set high enough for single memberships to subsidize
families. I believe that a fair and equitable fee structure should be our
goal.
