A South DaCola foot soldier told me that when they went to renew their individual membership they learned that they no longer offer an individual membership.  They have to purchase a “dual membership” or two memberships. Apparently they no longer welcome “singles”.
This is discriminatory for the following reasons:
This person is a single individual.
This person often enjoy going to events as a single person.
They do not need to be part of a “couple”
This “new membership policy” is discriminatory against single persons.
This policy could be a form of “financial elder abuse” by forcing seniors, widows and widowers to purchase two membership where only one is needed.
It is also discriminatory against students and young persons who may not be able to afford two memberships.
The Washington Pavilion already has a reputation of being elitist and now they don’t want singles? Does this enhance their reputation as an inclusive facility?
I also find it strange that a dual membership costs $60 ($30 each) but a pals (5 people) membership costs $100 ($20 each). So why not just charge $30-40 for an individual membership? Why eliminate it?
I have often felt that this city is very anti-single people, young and old, I just never seen such blatant discrimination from a publicly funded facility. But no surprise from a money pit that continues to do the wrong thing most of the time.
