Annual Memberships
The job of the trust is to respect the spirit of Jackie and dave’s wishes and to ensure efficient management, administration, and protection of its assets for all of its beneficiaries.
Mom, Dad, Granny, Gramps (or that cute little couple in the
corner…), have created an irrevocable Trust to protect
Manabear if we can maintain and afford to keep it in the
family. Their dream is that it will stay in the family for
generations to come. For this to work there needs to be a way
of generating money to pay the bills such as; taxes,
maintenance and upkeep, along with an individual
commitment from all of us. It is imperative that each and
every family and individual become an integral part of the
whole of those supporting Manabear. Below are the basic
annual costs in order to keep Manabear opened for us to
enjoy. We have also included the income. This does not
include donations for projects such as the sand for the beach
in which some of our children collected funds from their
generation. Below you will see the overview of the fee
schedule. We wanted to make a tiered system whereby all
may contribute regardless of income, and as a result enjoy
some benefits. We believe creating a “membership” is the best
way to accomplish this. There are four levels of membership
as outlined below.
