There is no fee. The membership whom I spoke of was the membership of our organization, the QDMA. Fees are not required for these cooperatives. Many times it's the information that we provide that has been the impetus for people to become involved in the cooperatives. But there is no membership fee; there's no membership base. It's open to anybody who wants to be involved and to learn more about wildlife and habitat management, to teach others about it, and then collectively to bring these smaller properties together so that you have a larger acreage base to have a bigger impact on those habitat and wildlife programs. There's zero fees, and certainly nothing to us, and it's all voluntary and in most cases informal.
