- · From the General Manager/COO search profile Kopplin Kuebler & Wallace has out for The Apawamis Club in Rye, read on the Florida Chapter CMAA library, which lists it as posted September 28, 2026. The club states a $165,000 initiation fee and $19,552 in annual dues for a full member, plus $270 a month in capital dues (shown here as $3,240 a year) and a $1,500 annual minimum charge, against 764 members and roughly $20M in gross volume. The document itself is undated, so the date comes from the chapter library, but the search is listed as active on Kopplin Kuebler & Wallace's own site and the profile sets an October 30, 2026 application deadline, which places it firmly in this season. Note that this supersedes the $125,000 initiation fee and $17,003 dues the club published in its December 2023 profile - a $40,000 increase in the initiation fee over roughly three years.
