It could be a lot of the older clientele does not want change and happy with the way it is. The problem with that is as they die off so does the park. I seen that happen to a lot of clubs such as American Legion, and other lodges. They look at younger people as outsiders.
This is the part I don't understand, they have to KNOW that they will need younger people to replenish ranks, so why go out of their way to antagonize those who want to come aboard?
I don't know. In my town the Moose lodge was sold and is now a church. The Masonic lodge was sold and now a night club. In Ely the American legion building was sold.
If you don't replenish the ranks you run out of people. Maybe that's the way its meant to be.
Where my seasonal is at we have people from there 30's to there 80's and we enjoy each others companionship.
Our local Lions Club is suffering the fate experienced by many service clubs. After 44 years of service the club is now dying of old age and the younger generations are not willing to step forward to stop the hemorrhaging.
